By Leah C. Dancel
Born with a blessed Hellenic beauty
Of ancestral genetic pulchritude;
Unpompous deeds are etched with gratitude -
Her name's engraved in the hearts of many.
With charm unbeguiling, her pure heart speaks
The lessons learned in life as she reflects
The many facets of human trials
She boldly triumphed without denial.
Her astute mind has been sharpened with time;
Dealing with life, its enigmas and why's;
Beyond the skies, the moon and stars, she flies;
To find the answers all that heavens chime.
Inherent goodness was bestowed on her;
Graceful and humble and with gifts to share.

Comment from YB
a sonnet, combining petrarchan and elizabethan. I did not bother to count because i did not feel the slightest sprauchle.
