Selective Deafness for M'lady Emma

variant sonnet

Selective deafness

The shameless breeze is whispering
to any man who's listening
The secret dreams a maid conceals
the wind mischievously reveals.
The man whose heart she hopes to win
Although he's shown no interest,
A campaign leading to his conquest
He does not know his fate is sealed
He will believe she was his choice
Despite all that the wind revealed
He cannot hear its quiet voice.
That he cannot is fortunate
Her birthright is to choose her mate.
