Example Poem

Advice to a Freshman     (Streambed Quintet)

If you come upon a maid

who's unafraid

and has a yearning

for learning,

please don't act too staid.

If perfume arouses you,

and bodice view

portends a measure

of pleasure

it just could be true.

If she pulls you close to kiss

don't be remiss,

she's not awaiting

dull dating,

act, don't reminisce.
