Engaging Esmerelda


Her deep green eyes like jewels shone,

     in silver beams of Flower Moon.

Emerald ring, a perfect stone,

     for deep green eyes of jewel tone.

Oh, how he wished that May were gone!

     She danced for joy and dreamed of June!

Her deep green eyes like jewels shone,

     in silver beams of Flower Moon.




*Flower Moon is the full moon of May

Not for contest?! Well, I guess you didn't want others to have to compete for second place. This is POTD quality, my friend. Bravo. ~ gw

You are so good for my ego! "not for contest" because of the liberty I took with the form (line 4). I just couldn't fix it AND still like it... ~ps
