Emile Pinet Poet Prose

Notes About The Poem

This poem was written in answer to "Unforgettable" a poem my friend Silent One wrote and his challenge that I write a poem containing the following ten words as well.

chatoyant: Having a changeable luster.  A stone or gemstone, such as the cat's-eye.
cynosure: Something or someone who is the center of attention.
demure: shy and modest
glamour: defined as the elegant, exciting or attractive quality that makes someone or something seem special or desirable.
ineffable: too overwhelming to be expressed or described in words; inexpressible
Ingénue: A naïve, innocent girl or young woman
lissome: Moving or able to move with grace and ease; lithe and graceful
mellifluous: something musical, melodious or pleasant to hear
panacea: A remedy for all diseases, evils, or difficulties; a cure-all
sempiternal: Enduring forever; eternal

Welcome To Paradise

I was so looking forward to my trip to Tahiti
this was to be my panacea, a sure cure for all my ails.
For once there I could forget the dregs of big city life
and swim the opal sheen of a chatoyant sea, in tranquil peace.

Arriving in my loudest vacation garb, I felt at ease
in my role of cynosure, strutting like a movie star.
All to soon I was whisked off...to the glamour and opulence
that awaited me at my ineffable, unbelievably posh hotel/palace.

There I was royally greeted, by a true ingénue beauty
the epitome of grace, she exuded a gentle demure and friendly manner.
She was like a gazelle...swift and yet lissome
with an indelible smile that seemed sempiternal, and omnipresent.

And in the sweetest, mellifluous song like voice
she softly whispered...“welcome to paradise.”
