I finally managed to come up with something for this week's drabble challenge at Black Pearl Sails--

But You Have Heard Of Me

Fleeting beauty has its uses,
Sun-kissed skin, and smiling lips;
And one’s effects are well enough:
Sharp-edged swords, and sable ships.
But history craves a deeper theme:
Tales of courage, sly delights,
A heart comprised of black and gold,
As true as starry summer nights.

That's really lovely! It flows so well, and says a lot in a few words.

I am sorry about your bad news :(( *hug*

Thank you for the compliment and for the sympathy. The bad news was a health issue with a fellow employee's husband: surgery was had last week and they found out the unfortunate results of the biopsy late this afternoon.

The good news was that my new boss has passed her probation and is permanent in the position. :)

Glad you enjoyed the poem!
