The poems each form a chapter of this historical fiction (at least in details) romance. It is beautifully illustrated. 
It is also shorter and a much lighter read than I had expected.

What a refreshing change of pace. A great Sunday read about a long-ago ancestor. The book belonged to my great-grandfather, Howard Engh, and was given to me by my grandmother. A neat "decorative" book, it sat on my shelf for years and years until I was finally curious enough to open it up.

In essence, it's a love-triangle of pilgrims who arrived on the Mayflower in the form of a poetic ballad.

I like the humor in this one. It made me laugh. Lovely wording; I found myself getting caught up in a single phrase for moments at a time. Can't remember the last time I enjoyed poetry so much!

This was way too long. I did like it, however.

I'm not really one for poetry, but I truly enjoyed that read. I couldn't find the poem in a book at the library, so I just read it online since it's now public domain. :)
