(for Temptress) The madness of the Mississippi mist settled like dew on her golden hair she danced around the field that night arms aloft, without a worldly care. The night birds flying close to her could hear her crooning an eerie hymn she was a part of the darkling night a midnight seraphim. Her nightgown of pure white cotton clung to her girlish frame bare feet flew in a pagan dance that was wild and without shame. As untamed as any gypsy wench she twirled in girlish delight unseen, unheard by mortal man a child of the night. When she tired, she stopped a bit to speak to the whispering wind she became the mist, the night, the darkness called Rosalind. |

Your poem paints pictures in my mind. I feel I am dancing along. |

He espied a whirling durbish Beneath a Mississippi moon Her frame was slightly girlish But in his soul he felt heart's swoon For in her whirling, twirling dance Felt mist on whispering wind To lose his mortal soul would chance Wild pagan dance, with Rosalind. |

The palette of your mind astounds me. ------------------ Patience is a virtue, but virtue has never been one of my redeeming qualities. |

Oh my! For shame! Apparently I never responded to this. I swore it was posted somewhere else though. Oh well. PoetDevine. I thought to bring this up again because it is an excellent poem. I wanted to thank you again for writing it. Reading it even now, I believe it still captures the way I am. It brought a smile to my face. Don't gain my affections and cover my eyes. In blindness I will only swing harder. |
