Juliet

O, my dearest, my dearest Juliet, One day your beloved will come for thee, Sweetheart, please do not cry and do not fret, Dearest one, he loves you, do you not see, My sweetest daughter, I heard your heart's plea, For a gentleman to come take your hand, Your every wish was always my command. You stood there weeping on the balcony, Your golden hair reflects in heaven's rays, Your blue eyes gaze upon the rolling sea, My sweetest, it will be your grandest day, When he does come to carry you away, Your mother still loves you, do not forget, O, my dearest, my dearest, Juliet. Written by: Kelly Deschler February, 8th, 2014 motifs: fiction & romantic --------------------------------------------------------------------- Written for Isaiah Zerbst's contest - "Juliet" Inspired by the painting, "Juliet" by Thomas Francis Dicksee ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was also inspired by my mother. Because, she is always concerned about my happiness. Thanks for caring, Mom. Love always, Your "Juliet"

Nice first place, Kelly! I read some of the comments and it seems that many others really like this poem as well. Real down to earth and realistic, with an underlying sadness, yet hope brightening the future. I am an admirer!
