Fair Maiden Rose

Unrequited Love~Rondeau Form~

 

Fair Maiden Rose sat still to pose

donned a silk sheet in lieu of clothes

He smiled with each stroke of his brush

Rose deep in thought, yet she did blush

and wondered if the artist knows

 

her envisioned love for him grows

as a handsome romantic beau

Shy, she remained in silent hush

Fair Maiden Rose

 

Charmed in his presence she arose

Slipping into her silk dress robe

as he applied the paint's last touch

his goodbye kiss revealed so much

he named the painting, she supposed

"Fair Maiden Rose"

I like this style, I should try out the rondeau form
Nice poem based on a picture prompt, I like the little love story taking place
If I may ask, did you have a certain meter in mind for it?
Or does a rondeau have a specified meter type?
I like the reference to my name, nice one ;)
(sorry couldn't resist)
Good poem, I enjoyed it!

Thanks Beau~ glad you enjoyed this french poetry form,it's just 15 lines with fixed pattern of repetition ...with a refrain, quite easily done;

Ahh nothing like a muse to bring out the best in an artist work... a very beautiful piece of work.

Lovely combination of poem and picture, Fran! I could see the artist's brush in your words. Sharon
