Stolid Tary

Grim expression 
Hides blank compression 
Stopped in place 
A tortoise race 

Continued canyon 
Candor hand plan 
Fraught the gaze 
Unless there's haze 

Air sitar 
Plied face card 
Sloping waters 
Eloping daughters 

Wait to spell 
This paradise hell 
Until the plate 
Spins shatter fate 

Bounded lip turn 
A powdered drug stern 
This corner bar 
Overgoing fountain star
