she stood
like a wall
of circumstance
alone
with mourning
of the black dove
and stains of love
sacrificed
under a gypsy moon's
mystique
she adorned the thorn
of hearts

I loved this take on the prompt, well penned and very well versed.
"she adorned the thorn of hearts" very powerful
-
"like a wall of circumstance"
Teach me how to write a line like that - please?

Excellent!!!
I especially liked your first stanza, although the entire poem was a powerhouse punch to the jaw, my Friend. Your "quickies" would take most writers days to hone, you know. Great take on the prompt, Scribe. As always, you bring a new perspective to every subject you encounter, a new view from a sideways stance, so that we might all get a much more clear picture of the whole. Bravo, Sweetie. You know you rock. I know you roll, too. And always, ya bring the blues along for the ride.

I will need to read this without a migraine, but this is some deep stuff. It's very interpretational.

Some poets can say amazing things in few words...
In my eyes,
you are one of those few
thank you for your words to savor
