Would I

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Would I.


Had I heavy jewelled crowns, cloaks of silk 
and embroidered gowns.

Had I diamond ankle rings, coats of fur 
and more for the asking.

Would I trade all of this wealth for nights
with thee 'gainst my bosom pressed.

    Thou hast done a good write Fay!
    I suppose I could use 'thee' and 'thou', if it helped to give more rhyming opportunities?! I prefer 'you', etc, though.

  • L. B. Mek

    'and if I, were ever
    to be deemed worthy
    of reciprocating
    such a fateful, choice
    would it be your forgiving warmth
    I would embrace
    or once more
    let my ineptitude, ground me
    to those quicksand's
    of accursed regret...'
    (what a scenic portrait you weaved
    dear Fay,
    forgive me but I couldn't resist
    trying to scribble a little reply
    to your captivating poem)

    I'm thinking she's keeping the bling, but he might be in with a shout if a ring is produced pronto.

    Took me in portraits of olden days
    Women in crochet
    Men in tails coat
    Caverns on street
    A beautiful scene playing at its peak
    Thanks dear Fay for creating those scenes
