A cheerfully friendly, taunting manner,
meant only to delight;
sparkling eyes and ready smile,
well worth a few miles travel,
well worth the price of a meal;
willing to Hit Hard with humor,
(the risks, the risks; the fine line
walked, but never missed);
her bantering the treat, the teasing play
between a sharp mind and a caring heart;
undisguised, just lightly beguiling.
How nice! the start, the way
words can touch (sometimes
far better than skin),
words can sing without melody
(sometimes without sound).
Bright Utterance!
