The madness of the Mississippi mist settled like dew on her golden hair she danced around the field that night arms aloft, without 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. |

Her nightgown of pure white cotton clung to her girlish frame bare feet flew in a pagan dance that was wild and without shame. Loved the contrast in this bit...the whole poem was great...i ticked the little box for it....Linda M. |

PoetdeVine~ Thank you for posting my favorite. I can be quite demanding, can't I ? This was one of the first of yours that really caught my poetic eye ... the images fairly dance in my head. Wonderful, dear poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

It's from Open 1...long hiddened and forgotten..actually it was written after talking to Temptress one night on ICQ! Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm not replying to most of the poems here as I don't want to bump them up too much..there are SO many good poems to read.  |

I can imagine this being sung in low, earthy tones to the detuned strum of a guitar and the barely flicker of a dying fire. Awesome! Mike |

HEY! Just HOW did I miss this? You went and changed the title on me! It is still wonderful though. It simply HAS to be! Is there any way I can vote twice..or three times..or maybe more? Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |
