========================
She Walked Naked At Night
========================

She walked naked at night
With all that she did own
As beauty is all that God to us does give
To the river that by had flown
For many a year before and since
She going to swim was spied
By he who to her had called
And she to whom by scream had repied
And in shyness she swam to cover
Alas, to where the current was strong
And to her death was swept by the raging water
As the riverbank her admirer ran along
And he looked after her in horror
As neath the water she disappered
And since then her spirit form
Naked, with Golden Hair has appeared
To men who walk the riverbank
And who spy on such a lady swimming at night
Like a Siren she smiles and screams
And causes them to falling in to their deaths from fright...

I see this psychologicaly as men always were trapped between woman's........
They are scared for women were not always been treaten nicely by men?
something else - this was. It had something, its own rhythm.

I am sure: this was just an observation of the others.
thanks for reading my poem, be well.

You are quite a storyteller.

What a haunting lyric you have here.

This is a very well written write, straight forward and to the point i like this, it's wrote with honesty and soul.

I agree with the comment below. Picture and story work very well together. I loved the story, the haunting feel through it, reads like an old Irish fable...great, just great.
