Jewels

My love's not passive, shy and free of strife Nor are her eyes soft deep and limpid pools No, in those orbs there burns the fire of life Of value more than any precious jewels ARBITRIUM DIVISA POEM 19 July 2019 Taken from poem: Birthday Sonnet (submitted 2017) Contest sponsor: Gregory R Barden

A striking, memorable film with pleasing lack of sentimentality. Thanks for your comment.
