POEM: Tim And The Landlord’s Daughter

Here is my 25 word pick-apart (actually more like 27 different, I just could not find more to cut) of Washington Irving’s “The Highwayman”

for the CPC’s monthly Pick Apart Poetry challenge.

 

TIM AND THE LANDLORD’S DAUGHTER

 

A torrent of darkness

A ribbon of moonlight.

“Watch for me by moonlight.

I’ll come to thee.

One kiss, my bonny sweetheart.”

His rapier rose upright,

up to the thigh.

A ribbon of moonlight

in a torrent of darkness.

 

Words drawn from “The Highwayman” by Washington Irving
