    Poem Commentary

    This was both fun and challenging to write. I'll admit to using a magnetic poetry kit to find just the right words for this style of writing. Any Shakespear fans out there?

    From a Maiden Fallen From Grace
    From A Maiden, Fallen From Grace

    I shall speaketh of this lazy codpiece lover in jest:
    My Lordship tempts thy lady friend.
    Come hither, my mortal villain.
    Bestow upon me your idle fortune.
    Shall I asketh but for a  trifle portion
    of thy hidden vessel of golden coins, this time?
    Alas, make haste, to woo thine merry wench.
    Do not pretend to deceive thine maiden,
    one as true as I.
    Lest I must vow to yield not my treasures.
    Yet still thou must quench they wicked desires
    in thy usual loathsome manner.
    Therefore, do not curse thy saucy maiden
    or torment her more this hour.
    Please, I beg of you, do not let thy maiden say
    "farewell" on this perilous winter's night eve.
     I foreswear to please thee,
    as thou desires are so well known to thine lover, only,
    forever more. 
    Do not beseech me, 
    or place your burdens and evil vulgar ways
     On this lovely maiden,
    as I have traveled so far away
      from mine own kingdom to find thee, my love.
    If thou dost change thy wanton mind
    remember that while thou questions thy morals
    thy sum is past overdue, methinks.
    And I will withhold mine golden love
    Till the dawning's first light
    when you shall cry for mercy
    lest thine fair maiden
    wilt be gone,
    forever more.

    Ah the many measures or torture we must endure on both the giving and receiving. But, by chance a most splendid illumination as both opposites seek to attract. I enjoyed both the playful banter and old style, something I can appreciate but not write.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
