Sense Sonnet - Acher

Mrs. Edwards

In that classroom long, long ago,
His roving eye fell upon her.
It would take time before she'd know
The heights and depths that would occur
To them joined as husband and wife.
Their ups and downs went for a while
Without the world in on their life.
Then publicity did beguile,
And they chose to let the world see
The hopes and dreams that they pursued.
And then it all turned out to be
Soap operish - so sad, so crude.

Elizabeth Edwards is gone.
May the media just move on.
