Uncertain Picture

Uncertain Picture We see her in the garden of this world. Adorned in beauty seldom seen among women. Gentle in all her ways; like a young doe in the forest. Her large innocent eyes, are gentle pools of blue. Her face an alabaster lily, Framed by the warm sunbeam of her hair. She is quietly arrayed; in natural beauty. The gentle rustle of her skirts, makes music when she walks. She sits among the daffodils; blending with the flowers; Till she is one of them, Only brighter than the rest. Purest of the pure she seems; cleanest of the clean. Then she lights up a filter king;It’s springtime fresh.

Sad and disturbing. I understand the message you trying to convey, but all said and done, it leaves me empty.

I wrote this years and years ago as an idealistic young college kid. It is an indictment against smoking. It was also a sort of experiment with verse. It was in some of my old stuff and I thought it might be and interesting post. Believe it or not this poem is close to 50 years old. (I am pretty much an antique myself. Have a nice day Mercia, Thank you for your input, God Bless.

Everything is perfect, but what happened in the last line...I find it comes to a quick end. Beautifully written and descriptive of this being right up to the last line..
