Kamille Corry-Tear in the Wind

Cornflower eyes are selfie-less. My copper-toned hair, conspicuous. My playful scarf binds my cares, Softly flits about My windblown countenance. I lose myself in perspicacity, Alluring and enigmatic, Expressive but not yielding, Meandering through past times. Not tactless - the mirror is gold. Indecent exposure is snapped, But I enhance my craft Against my will with the permanence Of paint, setting my eyes on the brink, A musing on the West Yorkshire Moors. I am more than a Muir’s ghost, I am a sumptuous recollection of Eve.

I cannot say enough about how intelligent, creative and subtle this piece is. It is art. In particular that you end it with a recollection of Eve, playing on the nighttime description and the myth and all that intimates after having invoked Muir's ghost in an earlier stanza. Outstanding. Congratulations!
