Eight Lines
by Richard FishThere she stood like a wishing well;
So full of promise, so rich in light.
A darker mind who knew of mine,
Just swallowed but beginning to kick in.
The patron saint of buckles bent,
Thinking as he threw in his coin:
Though it's not the best of times,
I fell in love in just eight lines. 03/15/2005 Author's Note: An older poem I found in one of my notebooks, I've always had a soft spot for it, so thought I'd include it here. I really like how some of these lines sound when read out loud.
