Line Gauthier Poet Ode

Esmeralda

her smile
her youth
her grace

‘Esmeralda’

the mere mention of her name
causes envy with its charm
conjures sweet idyllic musings

free as a butterfly
enchanting and hypnotic
exquisite in every way
the dancing gypsy

‘Esmeralda’

Panagiota Romios July 21, 2019 at 6:04 PM Gypsies~ I always think of them as charming as your poem. Panagiota Line Gauthier July 21, 2019 at 6:26 PM Yes, I too much prefer the romantic ideal.

Caren Krutsinger July 21, 2019 at 7:07 AM Esmeralda is the perfect name for a gypsy; oddly every time I hear it I immediately think "gypsy". Loved the title, the name and the poem. Line Gauthier July 21, 2019 at 7:20 AM It's no wonder - She is the love interest in Victor Hugo's unforgettable The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
