She hides her feminine charms behind a veiled silhouette allowing unobstructed undistracted views of nature’s abundant gifts. Yet, instinctively, furtive wandering eyes skim hurriedly from light to dark surrundering to the strong allure of the mysterious and unknown. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - © 18th March 2017 Contest: Any March Poem not written for a contest Sponsor: Laura Loo

Amazing reaction by a poet to an image. That is what the best poets do enhance with words what might of been missed by different eyes. I loved both stanzas as together they paint the total scene.
