Delightful word imagery in your 5-7-5 verse to match your Google Image illustration.
like first and third line phrasing particularly
the 'prism' gives an an alternative view to Austen's insight - nice touch!

Comment from lyenochka
Yes, Austen was wonderful with her dialogue and I like your "coquettish parlance" which takes us back to her time and vocabulary as does each of the lines. Well done!

Comment from Debbie Pope
What a great idea for a prompt. I really like this entry. You picked a good author and then managed to copy her style in your poem. Nobody says foibles, gentry, coquettish, and parlance, but Jane Austen would and did.
I also appreciate that you addressed the true worth of her work. Her foibles of the gentry tell us about English life in the early 1800's and how people thought. For that, it has even historical worth. Because you addressed it, your poem is more valuable to me.
You really did a fine job with this one. I would make foibles start with a lower case letter. That is my only constructive (though nit picky) comment. Good luck in the contest.

Oh, I like this 5-7-5 tribute to Jane Austen. I especially like how you describe her talents and social focus using her own kind of language.
