Premium Member The Quintessential Poet Queen For Elizabeth Wesley
A lady who once touched my mind 
in ways I could not decorously describe,
because she did so from afar
through her thoughts and words that shined like stars.

She wrote of love and hate and war
of mysterious mermaids and opening doors,  
to moonlight magic and midnight...

Quintessential Woman
What kind of woman am I?
I am the quintessential woman
of the most demur kind
Only in the eyes of the watchers
will my essence be exposed

I am the quintessential woman
for those who stop to care
I stand unabashedly disrobed
in the view of the inquisitive

I am most certainly the...

Uttering her essence in pen,

Notable features of my muse,
That are what the doctor prescribed.
Ideal in all the...

The Quintessential Parent Trap
I created you
the angelic, and the impish 
with my proud and selfless
love for you.
I enthusiastically ate for two
the sweet, the sour,
the salty, ravenous cravings.
I carried you
inside me, everywhere;
goodbye figure and posture
hello nausea and inexplicable dreams.
Laboring for hours
endless pain, draining my energy
to bring forth you
into this...

Premium Member Quintessential Male
He's forever in a rush,
eager to explore each day.
And with a liberal brush,
paints reality his way.

Flashing a smile from his heart
women submit to his whim.
And embellishing his part,
he makes it all about him.

He's the quintessential male,
and ladies beg him for more.
His rugged looks oft prevail;
it's...

Premium Member Quintessential Smoking Witch
Quintessential smoking witch could blow cigars into skull rings.
She understood scrying, cauls, mushwoogens and other things. 
Was being the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter all it took?
We were in awe, unsure how she did it, was there a spell book?

It’s not like she shares...

It's actually there, whoever wants to see.

and we shall build it brick by brick."...
