Notions

Myrtie, my notion of no one to write about
  Seems to be any one other than you;
Therefore, Myrtilla, I'm penning to-night about
  Twelve anapestic good verses and true.

Eke my conception of no girl to gaze upon,
  O my Myrtilla, includes all the rest,
Saving the one that I'm spilling this praise upon--
You, as it isn't unlikely you've guessed.

Also my notion of nowhere to be at all--
  Pardon, Myrtilla, my lack of restraint--
Notion of mapless location is----d. it all--
  Anywhere you simultaneous ain't.
