    Terzenelle

     Ten thousand fell in front of me
    Ten thousand princes in the ball;
    Ten thousand tiny thoughts of she

    Tiptoed across that gallant hall
    But there they met with great surprise
    Ten thousand princes in the ball

    And she was jewel in their eyes:
    Each man with mistletoe in reach,
    But there they met with great surprise

    Men richer in the art of speech
    That woo immortal life to die -
    Each man with mistletoe in reach.

    Compared I am a flytrap fly
    But she chose me and gave a smile
    That woo immortal life to die.

    I went to drown in river Nile,
    But she chose me and gave a smile;
    Ten thousand fell in front of me
    Ten thousand tiny thoughts of she.

    You've mastered this poem, leslieAlexis, and it fits. I didn't like pinned-down fly, didn't feel like it fit, but the whole message is sweet and sincere..

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
