'Opheliac~

My eternal spring of Ophelia ~

   madness bedecked of wildflowers 

 vacant within virginal white tears

       sunk to the depths of despair

ocean's vast siren call

    consuming beyond reality

barefoot'd romanticizing 

   melancholy waves of emotions

sank in a lover's betrayal

   stately and classical dignity

 feigned delusions of confusion

delirium of mania's absurdity

      secretly married ruse of insanity

 doused in bewildered over flow                                     

      preserving a life within entity~

   Fleurs éternelles de la France

Lorsque vous parlez français, il donne tout le poème je ne sais quois! Hamlet went mad with his love for her. Quite the Valentine's Day thought, n'est pas? In your eternal Spring, will you go to a nunnery as Ophelia was instructed to do? No way! You will sing your songs (write your poems) handing us the flowers they create in our minds. I so enjoyed the fact you used a Shakespearean character as the inspiration here. Wonderfully unique....and so YOU! Lydi**

Dancing to you review sweet Lydikey, I was so hoping the translation was correct, you can never trust it to those online sites, and if by YOU, you mean crazy...*wicked laughing* here. Grazie mille! ;-)

[Lydia Shutter]

No, you are not crazy, sweet friend of mine...you are just a unique blend of poetry and Joisey! I believe it is an acquired taste! LOL

[Frieda P]

Ha, you're such a sweetheart, I still think that was a nice way of saying off yer rocker! hahaha

[Lydia Shutter]

If it is, I recognize it simply because I am off mine! LOL

[David Scott]

I will never fully understand this type of behavior. Yet the story is always tragic. Why can we not learn?
The poetry here was strong Frieda. I think this could be one of your very special writes. I'm impressed.

[Frieda P]

Why thank you very much Scott, so glad you enjoyed, and I have no clue....guess to keep us on our toes dear.

[Sami Khalil]

You have done her justice and more with your classy and romaticizing aspects. The white tears in the depth of despair is a powerful imagery that sums it up. An excellent pen upon this...:)...........

[Ahena MK]

melancholy waves of emotions
sank in a lover's betrayal...
well written !!

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Ahena! :-)

[Leslie Philibert]

This is very good, love the idea of turning a proper noun into an adjectice, then the poem laced with a beautiful line of French ( my grandfather was French, a journalist who worked in London). The picture is (I believe) Pre-Raphealite...a great package here...

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Leslie, I was surely winging this one, translate helps a lot...glad you approve, do you speak any French?

[Diana]

"secretly married ruse of insanity"- Excellent pun.

One of my favorite characters in literature. It's official...I'm an "Opheliac!" Love it.

[Frieda P]

Ha, there's a bunch of us it seems, are you an Emile Plague Rat too? Thanks Diana.

[Brittany Zedalis]

This is amazingly done!! :]

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Brittany! :-)
