Round Robin 1 (working toward Sonnet)

She loved her father before he left.
His succesors were a grasp at memory;
mother and child were a still bereft.
Daddy had become an allegory.

She caught her man a different way
by using a shotgun to make it right.
Before long she knew she could not stay;
but, she couldn't go without a fight.

She found a man to share her life.
It was never easy, but they had kids;
she excelled at mother and played at wife.
The bills were paid with barely a quid.

Six darlings later, she hadn't learned
the well-known secrets of fertility.
Her husband, though, had early earned
a champion title for virility.

One little darling wasn't so strong;
it was something that God did wrong.
