Lasted nine days <br />Emma was in the fullness of love <br />Sending it to James who might talk <br /> <br />She should take comfort <br />In having had at least <br />One real man <br /> <br />As willing to bring forth a spring of red wine <br />All she needed was a guitar <br />And an olive hat <br /> <br />(dedicated to a great poet, Philip Dacey)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lasted-nine-days/
