Soft Svetlana set sail, serious in her search for a light.
Sixty Nordic warriors went along to aid in her fight.
They were overtaken and captured by pirates last Thursday night.
Svetlana’s empathy was admired, better than might.
She and her men were given freedom on Saturday night.
A tiny miracle in between sundown and twilight.
She gave the pirate king a crown with a gorgeous ruby bright.
He gave them a wave and yelled “You my lady are all right!”
The scruffy pirate king wearing this crown was quite a sight.
He wore it all of the week until the next Sunday night.
He said “That darling Queen Svetlana is more than all right!”
For the rest of his life he thought of her at every twilight.
Svetlana appeared on my computer today
She’s so pretty, it can’t be denied
But I'm happily married for 26 years
So I don’t need an Internet bride!
Oh crikey an email advert has just popped up
It’s one that I’m embarrased to mention
But I’m female (I’ve checked) and I’m certain
That I don’t need a penile extension!
A some what tongue in cheek poem
05~22~17
Svetlana more, divine a sight
Than the angel Uriel,
Of Leonardo’s delight!
Angel of presence,
Angel of face,
Angel of glory,
Svetlana, you hold
My heart in this place!
Angel of Earth,
Angel of verse,
Angel of wind,
Angel across,
The world I traverse!
Sublime is your sight,
Leonardo’s delight,
On canvas he paints,
You’re face as a saint.
Flaming wave hair,
Lips tender kiss,
Eyes bluest bright,
Skin softest bliss.
Svetlana more,
Divine as a sight, than
Da Vinci conceived
On his greatest night!
Svetlana!
