7-Line Poem




1 - She swings the softest lace over her shoulders, her head tilts back at a slant.
2 - He smiles blissfully at her, in awe, his eyes were made of crystal, gazing.
3 - Her voice is like a little trumpet, and he can feel himself go deft to everything but her.
4 - Her eyes are Finnish lavender spikes, they have impaled him.
5 - Her irises are a vineyard, purple royalty and majesty.
6 - How can he escape now, when the enduring purple shade of her eyes has enraptured his soul?
7 - Like a swift hawk, she can captured and devoured him, and his fight is over.

  1. The simile there at the end really sums it up--he has been taken by her and her "little trumpet voice," her lavender eyes and hair like lace.

  2. What an imagery piece of a man being captivated by someone! Have you ever had a moment where you were just enamored by someone? You write as though you may know that feeling. You point out both the negatives and positives of being infatuated by someone in that you point out that he "smiles blissfully" and is happy, but also the question about "how can he escape now?" when it is a feeling you can't control.

    I love how you use such interesting word choice, metaphors, and similes to create your imagery. Is it my imagination or is there almost an ominous tone to how she has caught his attention. What with "her eyes are Finnish lavender spikes, they have impaled him" and "She capture and devoured him" it seems this enchanting girl may be more than she appears.

    This poem is overall awesome with its descriptions, and how it illuminates the feelings of the man within it. Love it.
