You know when you think

I'll write for her

Something that will cry

A wondrous verse

that will reimburse

in streams across the sky

A missive yet

in ribbon set

round heartfelt feeling plunder

A creation which

with certain pitch

play crashing of its thunder

A shaft of warm

along and calm

to grab around a heart

In bound to her

all wanting there

all sense just come apart

In Daisy coloured

ribbon wondered

the least of all loves gifts

Peach ribboned love

winged above

feelings ever sift

Delight her all

Complete her fall

in lovesick many countered

That tied she'll be

Ne'er be free

though live her age now downward

But then you find

You play with rhyme

and words neglect their duty

Because all things

with broken wings

cannot reflect her beauty

Don't ya just love it when this happens?

But, tell me more about the last 3 lines.
Mortals unintentional want/need to protect the injured, thus looking at them with an eye so different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Great play on peach. (giggles*)

Such simplicity driven with a ribbon of wild flaring from the hand of a kind sir standing on a beach, perhaps.

The portrait is called Minx with peaches because she loves peaches and daisy's. She is also a writer.

ps - i think the girl you've created in the portrait you've used on this poem maybe has the same nordic nose as myself.

odd.
