ariel,
if she didn't swoon into your arms after receiving this, she just doesn't know how to swoon, and good riddance, I say...

Ariel, if it's a repost, I'm glad you reposted it...:)
I am learning, or relearning, from others on Blogit who "poet" much better than me....

Nice one!!!! Man after me own heart!

" Had we but more world and time,

this coyness, mistress, were no crime ..."

Don't you just hate it when " ... ever at your heels you hear Time's winged chariot drawing near"?

Nice job!

Interesting slice. Reminds me of Andrew Marvel.  Two days ago my son took a digital photo of my pond and emailed a picture of my 37 goldfish swimming among the lily pads.

He titled the photo file  the_mistresses coy.jpg

Well, anyway, I'm glad that you've figured it out even if I am more confused.  LOL

OKay ... since they changed the format of Blogit, every time I've posted poetry set out in quatrains ( usually ) with single line spacing, it's ended up as a single piece of prose with double line spacing. So I've found a way of curing that ; just insert a thingy between each verse.

I'm not into all this mad, greasy HTML stuff. Leave that to boffins!

Ariel70, Great poem.  I love it.  But what do the thingies in between have to do with the way it ends up?  I always have to go to the HTML stuff and work with those funny codes to make mine do what I want.
