Imaginary Garden has a mini challenge, to write a poem in Robert Burns style, blended in an epistle(letter form).
You can find other vintage finds like these on Etsy, at Lollybine's. She has an attic filled with treasure.
I was watching a movie, about a play and decided to go in this direction. The admired from a far view~
Your delicate mood distills mine
perfumed memories linger like fine wine
Escaped venture near the endless sea n’ alpine
Time’s heart chimes our final dance
I miss rehearsing our lines
The curtain call gives us one last chance
I admire your dedication to your craft
Your voice, your poise, your witchcraft
You beguile me with your chortled laugh
You are blind to my passionate trance
To you, I’m a beige and slightly daft
Staged is our only romance
On cue the light trees protect the fourth wall
Final dress drapes descending call
My rose colored glasses crack n’ fall
She is with him, fluttering in the wings
Knotted fringe, in her prayer shawl
Saturating my tangled heart strings
Always yours,
Cliff

However, you did incorrectly attribute the quote "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." It's actually a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
