Comment from George Jr
This was interesting to read. I am not familiar with this form of poetry and did not understand what was being told fast enough for the poem to flow but I am looking to expand on what I perceive and how. I'm sure if read through a few more times I would understand better. It seemed to be very descriptive so would paint a nice image for the mind to see. Thank you for sharing.

Hi T, what a fantastic poem! Excellent blend of fiction and myth to create a lovely story of passion that transcends time. Loved the rhyme pairing of iron and Orion. Excellent use of iambic meter and alternate rhyming in your quatrains. Wonderful write and I wish you well in the contest.

Thanks very much, Pam. I appreciate your six-star affirmation here. Jeff preferred the less structured jottings that were partly the origin of this one. He thought they had more personal voice. If so, I think perhaps it is a voice I should keep to myself!

Bravo, my Man! Bravo!
Cheers, Tony;
-Boy, did I ever enjoy reading this, twice. And I'm sure glad I read the authors notes before hand, as they were very helpful in learning a little bit about the background, period and time or century, thereof.
-She casts a sensual spell upon her mate who she met at the kissing gate, and they frolics in the hay, for more than a day, and while all the townships say, "It is indeed an evil masquerade." So they called her a witch, married to that son of a xxxitch, and burned her to a crisp. Hmm....
-But I like the way you wrote it a heck of a lot better than I did.
-Not only the beautiful rhythm of the iambic pentameter dishonest and then cacophonous words used along with some inherent alliteration that made it special. , Then, top it all off, With imagery, that is full of demonstrative descriptiveness with giving the characters a strong sense of definitive expressionism. The psychic made us feel all the town or people felt. and how the two of them felt.
-Each of the rhyming words reflected the wisdom of each and every line therefore making the rhythm to flow smoother.
-I enjoyed this very much, Tony, thanks for sharing and take care and have a good one especially with all those that love you dearly.
-And being a love story, a sad one, and beautifully written, and, so, good luck in the contest and take care as this is a real good one.

Alas! Poor Bess!
Her life was a mess!
Hung as a witch!
But did she twitch?
Oh goodness... I absolutely love poems such as this...especially when it is filled with historical facts.
Verily, a lovely read that begs to be read aloud!
Thank you for sharing!

The irreverent poem that you have penned in response really tickled my fancy! Humour is a great antidote sometimes! Many thanks, Diane! All the best, Tony
