Notes About The Poem

A Principessa Waits: Constanza

She floats among palazzo halls
in teal brocade of lambent silk
procured for ladies of her ilk

while sepia of gloaming falls.
Candescence rises in her skin; 
awakened is her heart within

to hear her lover's twilit calls.
She twirls and plucks a biding rose:
He Loves Me, comes the whispered prose.

The timbre of his voice enthralls,
the tickling whim of evening breeze
that waltzes through her mind's reprise.

As deeper into love she falls
the halos 'round the candles rise
to beg the lucence of his eyes.


She floats among palazzo halls
when sepia of gloaming falls
to hear her lover's twilit calls.
The timbre of his voice enthralls
as deeper into love she falls.

Gregory Richard Barden January 22, 2018 at 10:03 AM Oh, this is so chock-full of meaty words and phrasing, and wonderfully composed, with substantive and thoughtful intent - like a woven tapestry! My first Constanza was for Connie's contest, and it was SO much fun ... I need to do more, just for learning and joy's sake. LOVE this, my friend! :-) Dale Gregory Cozart January 22, 2018 at 10:08 AM Thank, Greg. Constanza is indeed a fun form to write in!

Connie Marcum Wong January 3, 2018 at 12:20 PM Wow Dale, you have certainly mastered my Constanza form! You write it much better than me. Should anyone ask me about my form, I would direct them to read your Constanza's. This piece is simply exquisite! I love it and am saving it into my Faves! Bravo! Thank you! : ) Dale Gregory Cozart January 3, 2018 at 12:33 PM Thanks so much, Connie! I wrote the two for Constanza contests on AP. Apparently your form is gaining in popularity!
