The Allure

The Allure

The blossoms of April

applauded the swan-like beauty

of her Hepburn neck,

for sunlight snared the gait of her walk

and every man breathed an audible sigh,

knowing spring was the allure

of fragrance she wore.

oh , that Hepburn neck...Audrey did have an amazing neck---and voice...and i caught the scent of both in this blossom of a poem.

Hi Kelly. Wow!! for a moment I was quite breathless. Beauty spills like stacked glasses where champagne overflows down on each layer -- from the words to the lines, to the image leading the way, the imagery in the poem and the poem. Near perfection in a package!!!! Loved it. Loved the personification of spring and the allusion to love, lurking in the shadows. I have read so many damnably good poems this week!!! This is another, it rocks!!!! alf
