Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Isadora

Isadora Duncan did be

One who performed to great acclaim.

A wonderful dancer was she,

Achieving both fortune and fame.

In 1927 on

September 14th ill fate struck.

A long, silken scarf she did don

That would become for her bad luck.

In an open air car she rode,

Speeding along the street with zeal,

Unaware of need to forbode.

The scarf tangled in the car wheel.

Isadora did die that day,

Strangled by her scarf was the way.
