Finest beauty, discrete in dainty lace
Brings a blessed smile to my grim face.
Deep in my heart is a glimmer of hope
And the desire for a little grope.
I am her devoted, though errant knight,
Coming to her through the mists of twilight.
Showering her with golden filigree,
I await her sparkling repartee.
She surveys this chivalrous gnome from hell,
Her soft voice tinkles like a silver bell:
I fear the curious words which you spake,
Depart this castle now, for goodness sake.
~ for Stef ~

Excellent
'tis a very fine write, indeed. As usual, you expressed your thoughts quite well. Thanks for sharing this one with us. -

Thank you for reading. This is a bit older piece. Did you intend to take a trip to the historical archives?
I am glad you enjoyed it.

This was and interesting read. I saw in one of your comments that you had intended to write a knight and princess story, and ended up instead with this. I must say, there are many knight and princess stories out there, but I have not yet seen something as unique as this in such a category.

I am glad you enjoyed this. Part of this is an inside joke. It was penned for my friend Stef who is pretty as a princess and taller than me. She teasingly refers to me as a gnome. So I tease her back with my poetry.

Extremely Brillant!
Honestly, I am never disapointed when I read this poet's work!
Always leaves me with a smile.
Happy New Year Stef & Mike -2009!

Thank you very much. I had fun writing this for Stef. It actually started as knight and a princess story. ..... But, this is what I ended up with.

What a darling use of the word bank. I loved your rhyme scheme and I am not a fan of rhyme, but here it is perfectly useful. Lucky Stef! She must be a real inspiration. Best wishes in this contest!
Love,
Linda

Thank you very much for reading and commenting. One of my goals on here is to show non-rhymers that rhyming can be fun and well done. A bad poem is a bad poem whether it rhymes or not.
I am glad to see you back.

Maybe if you'd used pink instead of gold??

I have seen red gold, perhaps I can find pink gold somewhere.
