No Clue

.

         Ask me not why
   this soul prefers me most

   For I the soul most know
      favor the locked lass
                 with
                 gold

            Yet this day
             before me
the stroll long her back down
             was black

        The sylph’s eyes
                pitch
           just as black

          her figure to I
                was
          just as blond

Elizabeth Wesley Date: 1/10/2012 7:25:00 PM Thy soul prefers thee with good reason dear poet. And I am fascinated with the contrasting of souls and blending of color in this subtle rhyme. I've been fevered with the flu beast this past while - hope you are well. Luv, Lizzy Login to Reply
