Poem


Here's a poem to Arlinda,
  No more than ten lines long.
Here's a present for Arlinda
  In verse, or lyric for a song.
And I hail to this winner.
 And glad to see her strong.
The close my eyes from Arlinda,
 And say that it's so wrong.
Now this was to Arlinda,
 Exactly ten lines long.

For Arlinda Willis.
