Dark Art Nouveau by Nancy AmesThe playboys and their weary women,
languishing in the skyscrapers in their
newly risen cities, sadly missed having
their own little cottages beside the forest,
missed the climbing roses there and the
stands of irises beside the mirror of the
shallow lake, missed the songbirds, and
at night they missed the frogs croaking
on the lily pads in the misty moonlight. 04/01/2015
Author's Note: an attempt to recapture the mood of one hundred years ago.
