Bronte Inspiration Part 2 By Jadazzle: Jan Allison and Darren Watson

TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS POEM PLEASE READ BRONTE INSPIRATION - COLLABORATION BETWEEN JAN ALLISON AND DARREN WATSON Our courtship it continues at a gentle pace Every time I see him my heart begins to race Long walks in the country, late evenings by the fire I really have discovered he is my hearts desire Kisses in the moonlight, holding hands by candlelight When I go to bed it’s him I dream of every night But for now we kiss goodnight by the bedroom door He respects my wishes that I want to remain pure In the Parsonage Where the Bronte sisters slept I fall to one knee and my promise is kept The faded portraits seem to smile Urging her to keep me waiting for a while A wink from Emily, A grin from Anne Charlotte's look tells me this is part of the plan Waiting for the answer I feel my nerves dance Adding to the feeling we are part of a Bronte romance. We arrange a small wedding but there is no great haste Until we are betrothed I am determined to remain chaste My dress is made of beautiful silk and is the purest white My groom he looks so handsome, he is my heart’s delight At the altar like Jane and Rochester we stand side by side This time there are no hitches, and soon I am his bride We hold a small reception back at Wildfell Hall Tonight for the first time into bed together we will fall I hear the voice of my beloved In my ear she seemed to say Oh be patient if thou lov'st me The power of love, The Bronte way My ardour is inflamed by passions longing But I must earn her virgin sacrifice Soon she knows the feeling of being loved and belonging For my bride only romantic perfection will suffice.

Hi Jan! The first part was very good; now we get the follow-up which builds on it, effortlessly. Soon you'll be able to tackle most of the English classics and then publish them in a JaDazzle anthology :) // paul

So enjoyed working on these with Darren - verse by verse with no alteration - quite amazing for people who have never and probably will never meet. Are working on more poems together as and when other commitments allow. You never know part 3 may appear one day lol Hugs Jan x

Thanks Eileen - as you know writing as JaDazzle as a collaboration is all down to you! Last night I sent Darren the 2 verses I wrote and the rest is history no changes or alterations. Jared Pickett gave us the inspiration for collaboration now the creativity is flowing. Hugs Jan xxxx May get round to part 3 one day lol

Jared - see what your contest has done to us! There is also part 1 Bronte Inspiration - Bronte Inspiration 2 followed as a natural progression, also an acrostic called 'chaste and chased' which follows on from comments on Bronte 1 and 'Orient Express' which was the poem I considered swapping to go in your contest - not sure if you would have placed that so highly - would love your comments on it. Truly indebted to you - when i am better we will write together. Hugs Jan xx
