Liberace

My eyes are dazzled at the sight of you, Extremely chic, your sparkles they just grew. Your penguin costumes always sat just right, With candelabra burning there so bright. Yours eyes they glittered as if they just knew, The secret to life was you, being you. Your smile was a magical starlit gaze, When you came out, we were all in a daze. That you were eccentric, no one would doubt, The crowds would go crazy, when you came out. Walk to your piano, sit there so tall, Fingers would move, and captivate us all. Rings filled with diamonds slid over keys, Magical misfit, our senses appeased. Written by Brenda Meier-Hans 10.04.2014 Mystic Roses Contest: Eccentricize my Eyes 5th

Congrats on your win! Great sonnet Brenda! I loved Liberace, he was awesome on stage, my eyes and heart glued to his hands and the sound of his riveting music. Enjoyed looking at him flashing his big smiles and gorgeous dazzling diamond rings fakes or not. He looked so sweet. This sonnet is a fav! Gets a 7! ;) Love peace and light! xxx D.

Ah, Brenda, my late Aunt Eva would have loved this sonnet as much as I do. She walked around with a picture of her and Liberace hung around her neck. She was even in his will. You have a great write here! Best wishes in Mystic Rose's contest. Love, carolyn
