Angel Eyes What beautiful eyes you have? To enchant, entrance, beguile. A snare to the feet of guard-low maids. Smiling and giggling all the while. Dreaming of all those carefree days. Meandering through rosy thoughts of happenstance. Fooled by your charm-mans ways. Falling from your comely trials. Not knowing of the foolish chance. You sly-minded devil in disguise. Too enraptured in your seductive trance. To look through your angel eyes. Poor, poor maids, who fall without a challenge. Disappoint our young Adonis. Who seeks for the swooning lies, To lose a girl her balance. His trickery ne'er dare been upheaved, By some sly-mouthed blue-eyed maiden. Until upon me he happened to see, What it is to be so jaded. "What I was living, the same am I now, dead." --Capaneus, THE INFERNO |

I'm not so sure this is a happy ditty. I think the Adonis in your poem was a jerk... or did I completely misunderstand? |

I think the happy part Sharon,, is at the end.. my take is that, "he gets his just deserts".. or am I wrong?---heh There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

This poem is painted so beautifully. I can identify with every word. It was nice to go back for a few moments, but it sure feels good not be ensnared by those beautiful eyes. |

Yep... Jamie is right. The amuzing part, and really the inspiration for this poem, is when the once arrogant, self-assured Adonis falls at the hands of a girl he tried to seduce. To me it really is a happy little ditty because I think of 'Much Ado About Nothing', and how it was all courting and love. "What I was living, the same am I now, dead." --Capaneus, THE INFERNO |
