Here's an older one of mine  

The Lady of Westing Hill

-I-

In the forests of Westing Hill
Lives a woman of beauty;
Her raven black tresses fall
Past her knees, and her eyes are midnight blue.

-II-
With a voice that rivals the angels
But whose songs are like none known;
For the Lady is not like us
She sings to the shadows and moon.

-III-
The mists that roll through the forest
Are said to belong to her;
And the whispers upon the wind –
Tiny faeries that come to meet.

-IV-
On the Summer’s Eve, her holiday
The forest comes alive with light!
No earthly light shines past low branches
‘Tis magic glowing fierce!

-V-
The Lady Of Westing Hill sits
Upon her thrown of the Great Oak tree;
She sings her lullabies to the beast
That hunts beneath the silver moon.

-VI-
She offers porcelain cups
Of milk and honey to the Tiny Folk
Laughing as they tell their tales
Of traveling through the mysterious.

-VII-
‘Tho should you crest the hill
Venture past the darkest of tress;
No magic will you find there –
Only a woman, living alone.

The best and most beautiful things

Dragonpoe to say I'm impressed would be an understatement...
Write on.

dragonpoe,
you want my honest input?

here goes...you need to post more....i clicked on your profile the other day and 7/8 measly posts?gosh....Never ever deprive a fan from your poetry....otherwise he will turn mad and bite...

i remembered this one from allpoets and what i liked about it was how the last verse surprised me..and made me feel sorry for the woman..if she needed to imagine such vivid images, how lonely she must be....
well, i still feel the same way
POST MORE!

Ok,ok, I'll post more. I am trying not to overrun the forum. As you know kaile, I can post and post and post.. Well, you know. I went to AllPoets and got some of the poems off there and will  be posting them here, to see how well they do.
Thanks all, for your kind words. Until next time, here is a smile for all of you  

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
