A Banker Deals In Dreams

Skipping 'cross the village square Smiling like the noonday sun Maidens gather everywhere Errands finished, workday done Dresses billow in the breeze Laughing eyes, flirtatious smiles Skirts uplifted past their knees Practicing their female wiles Woke up with a grunt and moan Glad was I the sun still shone Got back on the cursed phone Banker's business: contracts, loans Timepiece now won't move at all Maidens gone ~ my tears, they fall ~ Iambic Heptameter ~

Those maidens would have stuck around if they had known you were interested.

Gershon, Fates laughing at the fortunes in a banker's schemes, though insolvent in wiles of a lover's dreams. I thoroughly enjoyed the warning in your timepiece. -Richard

What a beautiful poetic critique of the sonnet you've penned, Richard. I find it positively inspiritational. It's a wonderful poem in and of itself, methinks. Change 'laughing' to 'laugh' and maybe another tweak or two, and post it. It's sensational! Thanks for the treat this Monday! Best always, Gershon

I wish maidens would be real. Every man would be happy. Nice dream, which many men can relate to.

Ahh!! What a dream. Enjoyed reading it. Is a maiden's work ever done? I guess when one is young and single it is. Your visits are delightful. Sara

'When one is young and single,' -- those words seem three to four lifetimes away, don't they?! ~ Thoroughly Married Man
