Pot Pourri



Indulge me damsel sublet thy sense re-waft  
Between thy linen and starched apron ties 
A waft of jasmine tangos with a lily draft 
Like fainting salt before the wilt of sighs

Let us defuse a scent of sweet menagerie 
And loosen thy corset by shaft of time 
Like a treasure chest full of hoping dowry
Let thy senses divine be an elixir of thyme

Contest: George Dunlop Lesie 
For Isaiah

    Your magnificent ability to paint the picture through imagery and beautiful lines is talent beyond measure. I sometimes like to comment on a favorite line or two that resonates or stands out more , but here each line is a favorite in this one :)

    What a beautiful quatrain and so delicate. I am curious to to know which painting this poem was inspired from. Well done!
