And now we have a poem from Bailey!

A Rufescent Angel

Her distinct gait

Holds my gaze

From the very first second

She floats

Ever so adroitly

Her red hair

Fanning

In the fierce winds

She's

The most majestic creature

I apprehensively

And impulsively

Clear the frog in my throat

Each time

She walks by

I imagine

Her smelling like roses
