This I want ~ kyrielle

Posture of elegance, through life
Beckoning gaze, becomes my vice
No more in life that I can see
This I want, what I want to be

Come hither pose, so dotingly
Image of splendor, copiously
Lavish pleasure, you are to me
This I want, what I want to be

Maternal prowess, supple view
Sensual dominance eschew
Lucid feminine subtleties
This I want, what I want to be

Populist gestures, seen from her
Beautiful heartfelt, love that stirs
Of her I worship for all to see
This I want, what I want to be

Author notes

Forms are cool when you force an image into them.

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines),
and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last
line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit
to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.

    This is a very sensual and wonderful kyrielle that you have penned here. You captured the essence of the picture and although I haven't read the contest, just looking at the title of it, it sounds perfect for this one. Excellent verbiage combined with superb rhythm and rhyme had this one flowing off the the page to my heart immediately. You always show such a sensitive side of you with the words you pen and it is amazing. I want to thank you once again for what you share and wish you the best in this contest. It sounds golden to me. Love and God bless you my friend, Joyce
