    A Tragedy

    Lovely lilies in her hair
    joined the dewdrops nestled there.
    His faithful buttercup was she,
    adored by no one more than he.

    'Twas raining on that fateful day,
    the one when she was whisked away ~
    a wizard, black and strong did wave
    his wand and take her for his slave.

    Her lover, lonely, left behind,
    feels as though he's lost his mind.
    What tragedy was wrought that day
    when magick came with such foul play.

    jeni. I love the premise of this poem and the wizard character. I would love to see you continue lengthening this and build some tension and longing so as to know how precious she was to her lover who lost her. I still love this even as it is. ginga

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
