She Wore Blue Dress, Flowers Her Laurel Crown

She Wore Blue Dress, Flowers Her Laurel Crown She had only soft blue skies and romance Attending angels at her beck and call A golden life, with nothing left to chance All her lovers came from Valhalla's halls. A beauty, with glowing emerald eyes With red lips begging ravishing desires A true vixen, fallen from moonlit skies Siren setting hungry souls on fire! She wore blue dress, flowers her laurel crown This I confess, her kisses honeyed gems Remember her in lush silk morning gown Brightest golden thread adorning its hem. Her red lips, havens of hottest retreat Hands begging to be held, heart pleading more Manna, a lover would relish to eat, Visions of paradise's welcoming shore! She had only soft blue skies and romance Attending angels at her beck and call A golden life, with nothing left to chance All her lovers came from Valhalla's halls. Robert J. Lindley, 6-01-2020 Romanticism, ( From A Memory, A Vision, A Youthful Treasure ) Note: This poem was inspired by my reading of Lady Labyrinth's truly magnificent poem, titled- "Horus in Paradise", this is my tribute and homage paid to a very, fine poetess, and for such an inspirational poem that gave rise to me setting pen to hand and composing on the spot.

Thank you my friend. We that dream of such women are on the path to finding such. They do exist but are not as abundant as one would hope to be the case. Those with sincere hearts, faith and loyalty to the man they unite with are indeed a blessing and a great treasure to all of mankind, imho. God bless..

Lindley, my great friend, so beautiful a poem, exquisite. I am truly honoured that a writer of your calibre gained inspiration from an upstart like me. Your pen is eloquent, the words do not "spew" from your hand, they are borne from your mind, the one that walks with the likes of the laureates. Thank you my friend. Love, Leanne. xx

Thank you my friend. I do my best to stand with the true poet's creed, to write with heart and soul and truth. To compose with the purpose of truly giving - not taking. To share the blessings of life, love, light and truth. To always give honor when and where it is due. To never let others sway me from that enlightened and purposeful path. *To sing as a grateful renewed soul * Know that here, earth is a fast fading realm * To be fearless, battle against Life's tolls * Never let world's great evils overwhelm.

You are one of the few true romantics here Lindley and one of the talented poets that don't require favouritism and wins with slaps on your back to excel. Your writing gift is beyond doubt. I stand by 'poets' and writers who are unique, write with courage, truth and belief in their purpose in life to write ... you are not cliched or cliqued. You have my respect and friendship. Just write and don't give a cuss the accolades. Lx

Robert Lindley

Thank you my friend. I read great verses and somehow verses flowed from that and were channeled to me it seems. A poet oft needs such inspiration and that day your fine poem did just that for me. Was definitely a blessing and a gift most truly appreciated. *When comes true versed words from thin air *As graceful as songs angels sing *Life flows, suddenly world seems fair *As a first cool new morn in Spring. You have my sincere thanks and my admiration for your poetic talents. God bless.

Wonderful tribute to your friend, Sir Roberto, and a very passionate and sensually crimped verse of romance and love. I Thoroughly enjoyed your word use and phrasing, and the lilting rhythm and story. Excellent write, my friend - keep up the wonderful work! Fave-ing!

Hi Robert, you were inspired to write a beautiful and romantic verse! I'm so glad I stopped by tonight. It's been a long time since I read one of your wonderful poems. Your romantic heart still shines! Blessings, Rhonda xx

Robert Lindley

Thank you my friend. Truly has been a long time for me as well. You yourself, write such inspiring and wonderful poetry. Truth is the poetess that wrote a beautiful heartfelt poem that inspired this poem deserves credit . As we as poets all write wanting our verses to inspire others and give as positive influences upon lives that are travelling the same roads we are through life. Especially so, when the reader and the writer are both poets, imho.. Poetic fellowship is key and sadly in this modern world- it is not engage in nearly enough, imho. Stay safe my friend. God bless..

Thank you my friend. Credit should go to the inspiration that sent verses through the air and I being the lucky recipient of that largess. As her very fine poem entered into me and my brain opened up for those invisible verses to enter. They came like a shot my friend. God bless and stay safe..

Thank you my friend. I felt it only right to notify the poetess that wrote so beautifully well, how her poem inspired me to compose on a day that I previously had no such inclination. In fact, I was very sure I could not muster the energy to write even one verse! But it came like a shot and a most welcome one it was! God bless..

You are a romantic deep at heart, Robert. But it is the way you express yourself which impresses me most. Beautiful and striking imagery accompanied by delightful rhyme. To you words come easy. Keep up your good work, my friend. ~ Regards // paul

Thank you my friend. I started seeing verses coming as I finished her poem. Always startles me when that occurs and it has happened over a dozen dozen times here in these last 6 years. when it does, I mark it as a gift and a blessing given from one poet to another. Such was indeed the case in this one being created! God bless..

Thank you my friend. I know it is a blessing when reading another poet's poem, I get the urge to ink verses that come to me- oft like lightning bolts. Such was the case after reading her wonderful poem. Sometimes it happens instantly, sometimes hours later. This time it was instantaneous. God bless..
