When he first saw the maiden fair,
It was love at first sight pure & rare.
While he fell in love, she didn't care...
He found her perfect; to woo her he was game.
He sought her attention, she found him lame.
When he invited her for a date, she never came!
Like others, he sought her time and company,
She had no time to spare for her admirers many!
A harrowing time for him & her; both were zany!
He saw what no one else did; sensed her everywhere.
Top to bottom, front to back- she was beyond compare.
All he wanted to do is just comfortably stare and stare...
He wrote poems about her, expressing his love.
His love and love-poems became his treasure-trove-
Earned him riches as generous were the heavens above.
Then one fine day his perfect creation took notice of him!
She walked up, flashed her smile, took a sudden whim!
Magic of fame & fortune- he was no more imperfect or dim!

Wow. Just Wow. Nice and interesting yet expressive. Liked it.
ReplyDeleteIf I were him, I would not forget that she didnt "see" him before he was famous. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe climax is about his success as a poet and failure as a lover because she notices him only for his fame but not for his love, is this interpretation right? I usually open dictionary aside while reading your poems... and I learn. So, just wanted to clarify what I understood is right.

The rich and famous is a catch that may easily fizzle off fast, the way they came. Happened often times. Very observant Anita!

ReplyDelete"I ain't sayingshe is a gold digger but she ain't messing with no broke man" I suspect he may have something plan for her though.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of prompts at once! Lol! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteWell done...I like how you combined...
ReplyDeleteWow Anita...what a tale and what a muse....like how you killed 2 birds with 1 stone on this one. Excellent! ;)
ReplyDeleteDelightful! The idea of the muse interests me so much, but are they always ethereal and very classically beautiful, or can they be something different?
ReplyDeleteBeautifully expressed - short n crisp !
