In The Name Of Jane Austen

 

You're often at times sense of sensibility

flows from my inner most prejudice

which deep entwines

pride of unfounded imaginations

people often have set their minds

waif from yonder side century

heart of endless love

hear voices calling out to you

from below and above

waiting for words of inspiration

sent with angles of light

hopes of inner most destinies

for to wait and abide

love is of your stature

calm woman of awe

we plea most indefinitely

for guidance sent from afar

    I love this one - a good tribute to the author herself.

    I do love how you show throughout your poem the strength that Jane Austen herself held and the strength that she gave her characters. She always gave them what she couldn't have, but she so wished to obtain if she were ever given the chance.
    You did a nice infusion of her stories and of her influence over those who read her books.
    Nice job!

    a wonderful expression of her strength and endurance, captured in a few words here.

    A friend of mine has 3 daughters who loved all things Jane Austen. He fussed and fussed about having to watch all those films. I have one daughter; and she is a bit tom boy. So, I am clueless.
