Verse in celebration of the 10th birthday of my sole wedding attendant, Miss Isabella Daou
In the town of Sharon Springs
resides the family Daou.
The middle imp - the girl-shaped one
hits double-digits now.
She dances to. She frolics fro -
while always looking chic.
Though vexed by brothers young and old,
one rarely sees her pique.
What wrought this creature, brilliant, fair?
Her parents know - they must!
'Cause meeting her one just might spy
a hint of devil dust.
Isabella, darling sprite,
with glint behind her eyes,
some might suspect - not wrongly so
when no one looks, she flies.
