Cleverly done Emma.

Particularly liked part 2

Thanks Steve, I appreciate your comment - not sure what this poem is, an amalgamation lol

Emma I think this is beautiful, especially the difference between the kindest and brightest eyes x I really believe that eyes say a lot x and nothing beats a tender look

They say that opposites attract and, while it's true in some cases, in others it isn't.

This is a strikingly beautiful poem, Emma.

Thanks Jen, the eyes are very important to me and you're right, nothing can beat that tender look :)

 

Thank you Maria, I had this going round and round  in my head for a while, and had to write it out

 

Thank you Poetess, attraction is a mysterious thing, sometimes it is good and sometimes not - I think like most creative people, we are often led by our hearts and emotions

When I read the first few lines the words deception ran through my mindWhen I read further it was clear it was tragedy.

 

Well written. You capture the essence of the great operas'

courtsey and bow for the leads

Striking beautiful hits the nail on the head, Emma. The rhythmn and repetition create an almost hypnotic effect. This was a joy to read and I think I'll be coming back to it often. There's a wistfull poignancy in this that comes through very strongly. And I had to smile at your comment to Maria - I get that with lines or phrases. Sometimes they'll spring right out. Others, they can hang around for years and "bother me".

Reading this just reminds me why you are still my favourite poet by a long way.

Don't worry, Emma. I was using my brother's computer earlier tonight. He uses Safari instead of Internet Explorer. I managed to log on to MSN, but could only get the plain text box whenever I wanted to send a message. There was no check box to clear. So I couldn't use the emoticons.

 

Never mind. I can have fun with them now, he he!
