Kim Rodrigues Poet Ghazal

Fairy Comes with a Promise

Twirling her fairy skirt,
   a lace and pearl dessert.

His eyes hypnotized by
   the lace and pearl overt.

Bells on her fingertips,
   this lace and pearl concert.

She gives her all to him
   in lace and pearl exert.

Her father hides her in
   the lace and pearl turret.

But marriage promise
   gifts lace and pearl convert.

Twinkling eyes of the groom
   splays lace and pearl dessert.

Rowena Velasco July 19, 2025 at 8:00 PM This poem shimmers with charm and elegance — like the lace and pearls it so beautifully repeats. The refrain gives it a lovely musical quality, almost like a spell being cast stanza by stanza. There's a fairy tale magic here, woven with both innocence and longing. A delicate, enchanting read!
