Woman of My Dreams

The Fate that Oversees things deals a card

Which wafts upon the breeze to you afar

Of suddenness of froth of filigree

Mad hopes compel a voyage out to sea

And bring you merriment with love’s sly charm

Now Aye & Thou–Yes!! HOPE! & that Disarms

Note: This week I asked the woman pictured, Donna Sue Atkins, if she would marry me. She said Yes.

Also: Donna Sue and I are old-school Hippies at heart. The classic Peace sign, faintly depicted at upper left, is said to be a meld of the semaphore letters D and N, to symbolize Disarmament Now. We believe that worldwide Disarmament would be a giant leap toward a sustainable civilization. So please, dear readers, think of the last word in the poem, Disarms, as having a double meaning.
