OctPoWriMo Day 16: Once Upon a Poem

Out for a Walk

Once upon a not so long ago while, 

in a time not seen since again

there were two ladies set to smile.

Upon a walk through the ancient and fair glen,

ladies of the most repute that ever they be.

Long time friends, since way back when.

Out for a stroll and maybe some tea

With the sunshine upon each brow, 

One says to another, in a short plea,

"Would it be polite to allow,

that I might ask of you, Dear, a boon?"

Her friend answered, "To swear  a vow?"

"Aye," said the first, "It's quite a request, simple and plain.

"Let us say, and they from here on in drank champagne."

It's storytime here in the lush forests of the interwebs. I have been granted a boon by Julie Jordan Scott to write a story as a poem. There were two nice pictures and a whole world of potential for today's poem. I decided on a Terza Rima. Yes, it has rhyme, but also it is also one of about a half a dozen forms (thus far) that I have discovered that lend well to the story format. Might be a little silly, but I am overall please with the composition.


Today's Prompt: Once Upon a Time… is your prompt and the traditional ending -

..."and they lived happily ever after" may now become whatever you please. 

.. "and they….(fill in the ending of your choice.)"  
       
Poetry Form of Choice: Terza Rima -  aba, bcb, cdc, ded, ee (Usually 11 syllables per line. I have take liberties on this one.)
