Compensatory Power Poem by james watkin

Loathsomeness of his quarters ignored.
Their sparkles' lack overcome.
Improvements made by, for no sum
Whom can but a dream afford!

Window thus, in shaping a view
Rude to quaint re-configures.
And doorway, what street-waved transfigures
Demure, for charmed life out to.

If not England's New England's a-back.
Of recitals, balls - no gloom!
Of lectures in the parlour room.
Veiled kiss; through no mourner's black!
