Poor Thing<\/h1>\n

by Mark A Sullivan<\/p>\n

Poor thing,
\nGrandmother always called the single girl.
\nSympathy felt
\nFor stubborn dreams
\nOf shared affection
\nWith distance kept apart,<\/p>\n

Then too soon left
\nTo mire,
\nIn private shadowed corners,
\nGrandmother knew,
\nOf quiet resignation.
\n###<\/p>\n
