Newsflash:
To The Groom
 
by Sappho
 
 
(completed by Lisa Jain Thompson)

 
Who are you, lovely groom?
You are a slender sapling.

I wonder what she sees in you
So unready for her tastes.

Is this your first visit
To our island, I think?

Be careful, lovely groom,
Our coral
is rather sharp
and unforgiving.

c. 600 B.C.E and 1998 C.E.
