Ansley Dunning

this stunning lithe oldest teenage niece
of Shari my younger sister of this words
mith epitomizes a tall drink of water 
(similar to the mother at same age) what
with her willowy young woman body 
brimming with budding potential for
breath-taking beauty enhanced by her
quiet mien expressing itself thru exem
plary artistic and literary flair if asked
to draw a character sketch anime or
wax poetic she would demure modesty 
restrains her acknowledging creative
talents so i bethought myself to com
pose this ode in praise of this quiet
natured adolescent teetering on the
brink of adulthood evolving positive
qualities via the strength of said sibling, 
whose ambitious parents embarked
to Spain late summer 2011 found
them bound for the Iberian peninsula
(than after once parents contract ful
filled to teach english for a year), this
brother suppresses envy at adventurous
bold risk taking exposing offspring
to world wide web of Europe fostering
cultural awareness, represents continuity 
forsooth, I remember this youngest sib
ling as gently conniving for courage to
act on her je nais sais qua esprit de corps
as like an inner diving rod and faith in
self enabling exemplary example for
motherhood constituting, both this and
Marleigh (the second of deux whip smart
darlings) with the world at their finger
tips as hands on learning all the while
insinuating courage to take life by the horns!
