Voracities and Verities Sometimes are Interacting

I don"t like diamonds;

the emerald"s "grass-lamp glow" is better;

and unobtrusiveness is dazzling,

upon occasion.

Some kinds of gratitude are trying.

Poets, don"t make a fuss;

the elephant"s "crooked trumpet" "doth write";

and to a tiger-book I am reading -

I think you know the one -

I am under obligatioin.

One may be pardoned, yes I know

one may, for love undying.
