Sequidilla-1
Copley Square – circa 1955
Copley Square, cobblestone streets,
chattering liars
rattling farewell to midnight’s
dampened, dwindling fires.
Gas lights flickering
trembling at passion’s passing –
two hearts bickering.

howmanysyllables has a few quirks
it counts the apostrophe in “passion’s”
as a syllable and also counts the dash (-)
as a syllable.
