I think that I shall never see again such a wondrous sight
It wasn’t just an ordinary movie for the X-factor had it right
The magic of such tales, the sadness this lavished captive soul
Her stories enchantingly renowned, Miss Potter focused my goal
Her multiple talents converged, despite reclusion and control
Classic stories quite renown, ‘Miss Potter’ got into my soul
Each scene of this movie ‘more enchanting’ than the next
Transforming my vocation where some might think me vexed
In reality, I’m connecting the dots to place near the brightest Star
So many courses I now take, to formulate this dream from afar
Oh that world would spin in comprehensive dimensions that I’m in
Even small worlds, saved by the Light, purposefully revived again
Beatrix left her captivity to venture out and changed her world
Giving inspiration, and ‘The Lake District,’ as ripples of whirls
When upper-class ladies weren’t suppose to work, she excelled
Moved by her talents and gifting I am, thus, creatively compelled
Author notes
The movie 'Miss Potter' has more than changed my life; it's redirected the love of my life in astounding dimensional ways that are beyond my comprehension. I may never be affluent writing children's books as Beatrix Potter, but her life has fueled my existence similarly.

I know virtually nothing about the potter books... have never read them and haven't seen the movies either.. so am quite un-educated about this area...
The poem is written with excellent style and grace... I've always enjoyed your poetry Milly. I'm sorry I don't read as much as I use to... work has pretty much taken over my existance...
Thanks for the entry... it's an enjoyable read for sure! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Thank you Frogz! The move, thus far, has not left our town; which surprises me a bit. By all means, if you get the chance, do find to time to see this one.
Cheers, ~Milly
