The End of Innocence

10/40 written for Tovli's Advanced Ten Word challenge

 

The End of Innocence   Perfume splendid, lovely scent Presence charming to this gent Oblivion consumed her fear Purer mind left facts unclear Champagne toast, twilight sky Serene, her smile, he knew not why Thoughts of two lay miles apart Be merciful, my beating heart By Sharon Miller Bolander   © 2008 Peggy Paris (All rights reserved)

This is fabulous and the fact that you were writing with words someone else chose makes it all the more remarkable. Great job!

liked it. the rhyme gave the poem a circular quality. it read like a rose re-blooming agan and again. it's not easy to do a 10/40 with this type of pattern--you did a great job. tovli
