Ekphrasis-Symbolist Sweethearts 1

THE LADY OF SHALOTT
mirror-images were her curse
so wove her pictures in reverse
LA BELLE ISEULT
William's 'stunner',became wife Jane
but for painting,he found no acclaim
MADONNA
Madonna's personna
a single reflection-
gives meaning to life
PAVONIA
Leighton's lovely
Italian beauty we all,can see
LONELY LASS
closing her door
in her mind-
she slowly withdraws
MAXENCE
pretty as a prescence
with her auburn looks
