The Art of Persausion

The art of persuasion was her forte The art was most masterful on the dark canvas of night, in dimly lit places where smoky rhythms play With a subtle gleam of seduction in her eyes and a mystery in her smile No man could resist her charms But, her heart was not made of stone Her armor was vulnerable to the magic that is love For love could not be dethroned But love has its thorns, that belie its fragrant rose Could she stand heartbreak and the pain it would impose Could she stand the tears that would inevitably flow Or could she persuade love not to go?

Persuasion is very powerful, indeed. She's strong and can endure many things, but, not everything. Hearts can be broken. Your thoughts are tender and emotional, all at the same time. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy

great interpretation for the contest title. I especially liked 'her heart was not made of tone...her armor was vulnerable." I also appreciated the thought-provoking quality of the last four lines. Enjoy your evening, Sara
