Temperance is a virtue,

temptation leads to sin.

Temperaure is a gauge,

tempura once had fins.

Tempests blow fiercely,

temptresses, maybe the same?

Temperate zones appeal

tempeh garners disdain.

Tempo keeps us in check,

Temporizing divides.

Templar-like behavior can be

Tempting in some times.

Temporary are we, despite

temples we yearn to be. are We

Tempered examples of

tempera painted beauty?

Humbly yours,

J
