A poem that came to me after admiring an old photo........


Poem Artwork

LADY CLAIRE


 


 


Her name


Lady Claire


Vision of succulence


Satin skin


Luscious lips


Melancholy eyes


Stunning beauty


Sublime


Her tender heart


Enamored


Handsome erstwhile lover


Noble Captain Barnes


Dashing Spice Merchant


So refined


Debonair


His letters


Filled with promise


Passionate desire


Dreams of bliss


Betrothal


Abruptly discontinued


Rueful tragedy


Succumbed to Malaria


Returned to Mother Earth


South African goodbye


Patiently


She waits


The silent halls


Obsessed


Her smothered sobs


Still echo


Haunting apparition


Elm Streets master chamber


Five score years have passed


No rest for her it seems


1907


Or was it just a dream?

Wonderful imagination, a complete story in a pared down poem, with a surprise ending. Excellent writing.
