None Could Match Her Charm

Her smile so winsome, bats an eye A beauty, none could match her charm With suitors young, and still too shy She yearned to find her true love's arms One evening she, beset with fright Blood curdling screams emerged from her She dreamt strange dreams all through the night The room spun round, her thoughts a-whirl Now slowly creaks the bedroom door A ghastly voice intones her name She gasps aloud, in utter horror Awakens white, all color drained... No longer do young suitors find Her looks to be the special kind

You're a good storyteller. This kept me on suspense the whole way through.

Hello Gershon, so now she is older and has the inner beauty. Young suitors want their own type. enjoy your evening my friend.

Thank you, Heidi. I did, indeed, don my 'imagination cap' before penning this. Take good care, Gershon
