Short Shalott Poems

THE LADY OF SHALOTT
mirror-images were her curse
so wove her pictures in reverse
LA BELLE ISEULT
William's 'stunner',became wife Jane
but for painting,he found no acclaim
MADONNA
Madonna's personna
a single reflection-
gives meaning to life
PAVONIA
Leighton's lovely
Italian beauty we all,can see
LONELY LASS
closing her door
in her mind-
she slowly withdraws
MAXENCE
pretty as a prescence
with her auburn looks

Shadows of a spell fall upon the lady.
Desperate she wove magic by the mirror,
Working the bow to spread her woken desire;
Playing with the threads of life in colorful scheme:

How she wished for a loyal knight to see her blush,
Fall in love with her beautiful pretty face,
Moments to touch her fragile grace in rapture;
But he this mischance truly became her curse. 



Picture Prompt:-
I am half-sick of shadows, said the Lady of Shalott"
