(rhymed couplets)
Ebony keys are caressed by a gentle hand.
Soft palms touch a novel of popular demand.An ivory typewriter sits on the rustic desk of old.
Shimmering rays of sun enlighten tresses of gold.A ring of silver on nimble fingers catches the light.
While imaginative lovers await their plight.Adamant wrinkles crease the dainty chin.
As a mystic character becomes a devoted friend.Heartwarming stories unfold in her wandering mind.
And discouraging obstacles are not allowed to unwind.She enchants all with her gift of creating a magical tale.
Building an intriguing world, only she can unveil.Enhancing the joy of reading is her special goal.
Bringing happiness to a decade full of woe.She is the mighty writer filling all with hope.
Like a dedicated teacher, achieving her greatest scope.

I am a verse with not an author known.
No one knows who penned me with such care.
Singing a beautiful melody to share.
Were they ashamed of their talent, God-grown?The world admires the prose standing alone.
My words invite a laugh cry or grief to bear.
Many emotions are the results, a flare.
Buttering our tastebuds, a refreshing sconeTantalizing us with morsels, a tasteful treat.
A chocolate bar to readily enjoy.
Sending leaves of knowledge, where it may fall.Filling our minds with a peaceful receipt.
I am a verse no author or employ.
My words will woo you yet unknown to all.
