Libertine's Riddle

.


                          Purling
      As the lotus 'mongst the waft top 
                            wet

                       Arciforming
       With the pretty colorful rainbow
                            bent

                        Infiltrating
  Deeply the sinews whence mine I found
                            mirth

                          Noticing
Every breathe flaunting the passion of mine
                           colleen

                          Sweating
                   Whilst in hern depth
                           roaring





*Libertine: 14th century < Latin libertinus< libertus "somebody freed from
slavery" < liber "free" ;)

Hello there dear poet...vision the ballerina pirouetting in radiant display, adorned in pretty white arching back as she spins with please in the first two stanzas...I'm certain the rest of the poesy will come alive Nette...*sm....much love, james

Yes, it is like a riddle for me, James. I liked verse four the best. Is it about a girl named Colleen?
