Such beauty sets my heart afire!
Exquisite charm and subtle smile,
Of hazel hue those eyes beguile;
Encourage flames of deep desire.
Attain her love I do inquire...
To win her trust, I'll change my style.
Such beauty sets my heart afire!
Exquisite charm and subtle smile.
Caress her skin, I do aspire...
This yearning lust will wait a while.
Her sweetest glance devoid of guile,
Her innocence I most admire.
Such beauty sets my heart afire!

(Note: I originally had "Exquisite and subtle her smile" in the 2nd and 8th lines, but it wasn't the right iambic (is that the word?) beat, so I changed it slightly. I don't like it better, but this type of poem is all about the rhythm. )
Well, this is my Rondel for One Stop Poetry's "One Stop Poetry Form". The rhyme scheme is ABba/ abAB/ abbaA with 8 syllables with the emphasis on the 2, 4 6 & 8th beats. Click on the site if you want to know more. The guest host for todays is "Samuel Peralta".
This is also for Magpie #59. I needed to tie the two poetry challenges together as I have another busy week. I'm not sure if we consider Mona Lisa a great beauty today but when I compare her to other renaissance paintings, I actually think she is attractive.
And speaking of beauties... my daughter's PhotoShopped image as "Cinderella" is in the following post.
