Happy Sobbing Over Jane Austin

So absorbed I become, I must hold my breath While reading of love's unrequited quest A tissue in hand wipes a tear from my eye Enthralled with such bliss, I joyfully cry! Cover to cover, each novel tells the same Stories of restraint, where respect still had a name To honor tradition, often true love had to hide Keeping family dignity, maintaining family pride Mr. Darcy so adores her....while she dreams about him too Complex misunderstandings. Oh dear! Now what will they do? Unrequited love is burning, ...twisting, turning, bending That final page of yearnings, how I rejoice at happy endings!! Such sadness and anguish, but as strange as it may seem.... Jane Austin love stories....give me tragic....happy....dreams! ! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A paradoxal title "Happy Sobbing" will be up on top of the winners'list for sure, dear Carrie, as you have a gift of originality many poets only dream of...Thank you for your comment on my poem featured this week. Love from near Carlsbad, iolanda we went to the ocean in Carlsbad yesterday :) You were not there though.

Yes, some are tragic but I think Jane Austins' usually ended up happy, didn't they. You made a good approach to this topic, Carrie. You made me think of one that i wish to write about now. HOpe i have the time for it. LUv, Andrea

We do get wrapped up in the tragedies, don't we, Carrie? Most of what I read is nonfiction, but when I do choose fiction, I like the heavy stuff too -- John Steinbeck is my fave and, of course, Shakespeare. You made a good choice selecting Jane Austin and I wish you success in the contest with this moving entry. Love, Carolyn
