One stop poetry challenge: She walks in beauty

Image copyrighted by KJ Halliday

'She walks in beauty like the night'
(as Byron's words behold my sight)
like a blazing fire stepping upon
the clouds doth tremble and softly moan
her golden hair soars in ecstasy
letting the breeze touch with fantasy
she is a magic, a soft-spoken dame
as heaven sighed when unperceived her name.

A perfect allusion and follow through. The ball hit the meat of the bat on this one. Pow! A nice feeling that goes from the hands and up the arms. She is unperceivable and that's what makes her so luscious.

A classic feel to modern photography.

While heaven unperceived her name.
I have never seen the word unperceived. Interesting...I'll be thinking that one over...The Byronize is a great touch.

Jerry said...

I have never seen the word unperceived used before...I thought on that a while... The Byroneeze was a very appropriate touch.

Feels wonderfully dream-like and floating, beautiful imagery you've used. Is she real or is she a fantasy?
