This is the first verse in a small series which I wrote last year and which some have requested I post again on this site. Hope you enjoy.
Elizabeth's Dreaming.
He entered the room and measured the crowd.
Ladies in bodiced profusion, high-styled
And primping.
..................Bawdy, the men laughed loudly.
She stood there alone,
........................turned and caught his smile.
Cream begowned, hair gleaming
.....................................dimpled delight
She, with young beauty
...................................needed no preening.
He proferred his hand,
..........................and they danced that night
.So began Lady Elizabeth's dreaming.
Soldiers, she knew, led a dangerous life,
But would she succumb
.................................and become his wife?
(To be Continued)
a cliffhanger! aw shucks.....
I wait with baited Poetic breath knowing part two has just been posted ... I love a serial ...
This has all the style and elegance of Jane Austen. You tantalize the reader with your elaborate setting and characters. What on earth will happen next....? Costume drama par excellence. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
This reads like the delicious opening chapter of a bodice-ripping romance...just enough of the vital ingredients to make this reader hanker after another slice. Mmmmm :)
