Meeting at Midnight

Inspired from Robert Browning's Poem

The overwhelming dread seen and felt  

The same that Helen of Troy oft feared,

The distant gongs of midnight donged  

While waiting for the pointy prow.

With mischief in her bosom bored

she left and dropped the epistle behind

As her feet through the fields hurried

into an old fashioned farm and waited,

Before old age could dribble through her dreadlocks,

A faint knock at the pane and calling

of her name in a hushed voice, she lighted 

The candle and the two hearts lit with it.

A little mischief in your poem, can you feel? ;)
Skip that! You bloomed something romantically amazing that proves you're well inspired...The line bout Troy gave it more imaginary visuals to understand the poem well...
However, this one's a great job done by you...Thanks for sharing Suhd :)

[Suhd]

Yes absolutely :D
Thanks a lot, you've always been kind with your reviews. Such warmth :)

You know that you're welcomed! :D

[Great Aunt Astri]

oooo, very powerful! Some wonderful alliteration, and assonance, and the imagery is very strong. Browning certainly inspired you to great heights. One little thing, should 'bosom bored', be 'bosom bore'?
I look forward to reading more of your poems.
