Byron and Dickinson Fire

She was created of earth's lusty marrow, lived amidst chimera and heather fields breathing Byron essence & Dickinson fire, there was madness in the poetry of her life an atmosphere favorably self-aware mundane was ne'er her cup of fancy In death, she was found to be quite lucid 'tween exiled days and windswept expanses of untrodden woodlands & lone seascapes, perchance glimpse her twilit ambiance whispering beyond breezes of conclusive horizons void of derived worldly silhouettes COLORIZE THE CLASSICS contest 10/2/16

It's a classic for sure, Paloma. Your words flow from some secret fountain beyond most poet's grasp. Simply divine prose. Love your work as always. Love and many blessings to you.

Beautiful prose, Paloma. Your take on the contest is unique - I am reading all entries I can find because I'm not sure what the sponsor means / wants. Apparently, you wrapped the poetry of Bryon and Dickinson around a fictitious poem-character. You did a good job, quite enthralling. Good luck in all things ... CayCay

I'll have to check this movie out. If it's half as good as your poem it will be time well spent. I love the last line especially - I can never get silhouettes to work and you did it with ease

I didn't choose a movie but classic poets, the rules said 'If the title strikes you in another way, then go for it' so I did. I was hesitant about silhouettes myself. Thanks very much.
