Scarlett Revisited

One night when stars possessed the universe, plantation winds screamed violently; Cupid's wings thrashed against a pane. When the arrow pierced her chest, her winter's heart too late was made to know pure love. . . Fever came, and still she cannot rest. For the Gone with the Wind Poetry contest

Congrats on your win in the Jadazzle United contest. I am sorry Darren wasn't around to do the final judging with me - he was looking for a romantic aspect to the poem :-) Hugs Jan xx

Great write, Andrea. Love the line "Plantation winds screamed violently" That perfectly describes the fighting and making up between Rhett and Scarlett.
