Eileen Manassian Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

Sense and Sensibility Speak

He was debonair, full of flare
charm exuded here and there
but she was so unaware
and she let her heart to dare
poured out love and all her care
But he another love did share

There he stood, there he bled
he knew that she longed to wed
all this filled his heart with dread
for she loved the youth instead
This young rival he must shred
Take her to his heart and bed

Walked in rain then took a spill
Jilted, wilted soon fell ill
to live life she lost the will
Passion gone, there was no thrill
but her heart he longed to fill
His love was the magic pill

The she knew love has no age
his hand turned a brand new page
Now that in love she was sage
Rescued from falsehood's cage
Passion danced upon their stage
No one could their joy to gauge

This is the story of Marianne and Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility. You should watch the version that has Kate Winslet play the part of Marianne. Emma Thompson is her sister. Marianne is in love with the young John Willoughbye, who is dashing and charming. She is passionately in love with him, but her heart is broken when he gets engaged to someone else. Colonel Brandon, played by Alan Rickman, is an older man who is passionately in love with her but doesn't express it to her in ways she expects. However, when she falls ill, he is the one by her side. He nurses her slowly back to health and wins her love. :) This story is written by Jane Austen. Oh how I love the classics. Sometimes it is the steady, deep, unassuming love that is truly lasting. 

I've written a poem on this theme with a different twist: Scent and Sensuality. ;) I http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/scent_and_sensuality_474084

Maurice Yvonne March 25, 2015 at 8:05 AM Beautifully composed like classical music from the romantic era!

Richard Lamoureux March 24, 2015 at 7:15 AM Very clever title Eileen. This has the makings of a great soap opera. You my dear are a "hopless romantic" thankfully we are the benefactors of that passion. 7 all the way! Eileen Manassian March 24, 2015 at 1:36 PM I am, Richard. A hopeless romantic...a hopeless idealist...It has not always been a helpful trait, but it's part and parcel of who I am. Thanks for the visit. I'm glad you enjoy my writes...as I do yours. :) Checked for a new one...nothing up yet. Take care. hugs

Shane Cooper March 24, 2015 at 3:59 AM Jane Austen has to be amongst my favourite writers, Pride and prejudice is timeless, always something new to find in it everytime you read. And you have managed to put sense and sensibility into monorhyme and tell the story so beautifully. You constantly amaze me my enchantress, you shine! love Shane xxx Eileen Manassian March 24, 2015 at 1:37 PM :) Thank you, Shane. I'm pleased with your review of my work. Always a joy to read your posts. Blessings.

David Meade March 23, 2015 at 8:50 PM My girls love this show and have read all of Jane Austen novels-- they even dragged me to see her place in England!! I am going to show them your poem LO. 7 Eileen Manassian March 23, 2015 at 11:33 PM OH!!! What a lovely experience. Yes....I've seen Pride and Prejudice SO many times.
