My effort to prove Fog wrong. Love poems continue to be written, and Romanticism, in some form, persists.


Charmed

She, without a turban or a horn,
Has made me undulate. I rise
Out of my wicker home, my eyes,
Supposed to hypnotize, instead
Cannot break free of her. She smiles,
And I smile back. She laughs,
And I become convinced that
Even one who hides in wicker,
Vicious viper others, rightly fearing
They'll be victims, shun, may
Find himself becoming happy
As he undulates.
