Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

I Am Spellbound

I gaze at her for hours; I am spellbound; I am rapt
As she draws me up beside her I am happy to be trapped
There is something mesmerizing, that she radiates to earth
Her circumference daily shrinking; her magnitude, her girth

James Inman June 18, 2020 at 8:52 AM Your choice of lines taken from the original poem allows us to view your new one from a different perspective. I like that. It is not necessarily about the same subject as the original. Ann Gilmour June 18, 2020 at 4:59 PM Many thanks James for your kind visit and your lovely comments, I appreciate both. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
