Hidden from sight a Dryad could see
from within this magnolia tree
the sight of a person so strong and manly
inspiring desire, from one such as she
and vowed she would take this human so free
while virgin white petals thrust out purity

The sylvan nymph in leafy lace
begged for a moment of sweltering disgrace
so that, they two could find a place
that no grand edict could erase
and therein,  they destroyed a race
from caressing rays of warmth upon their face.

Wow  what a take..I wish  sometimes I could be a deeper  writer but I think it's a deeper mind only that can do that..and well, mine just isn't deep enough (no pun intended on the well)

Maureen, I'm not sure whether this is deep or just warped. Besides who would I use to ground me if you started writing esoteric stuff. Stay just the way you are.
Be well

Awesoooooooommme creation Kethry.  You have taken my simple little thought and turned it into one of not only depth but one of sheer beauty.  

The sylvan nymph in leafy lace

What a tremendous line.  You have earned a gold for sure.  I bow humbly to your talent.
