This is an improv off of "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning. With this heroic couplet, I was focusing mainly on rhyme, not really worried about much of anything else. I wanted to also incorporate "since none puts by/the curtain I have drawn for you but I."
It's all in candles, books
and some forgotten hooks,
that continue to smile
and kill a fellow's bile.
Since none puts by
the curtain but I,
I must proclaim, to chat
some teacher, patiently
forgets the anxiously
awaiting about. One by one
we line, hoping to finish. Done.
