Fairy by MariposaViajera at Photobucket
This week I’ve decided to combine the Monday Mural and the Friday Five from Poefusion. The words are kempt, string, dilated, vinegar and mural.
after the string of his bow broke
he cleansed the wound with vinegar
from an alabaster bottle
called his kempt hounds to order
pressed on in the moonlight
beguiled by fairy music
played on the harp
by the beautiful creature
first glimpsed
in a mural
dilating his heart.

I like the last line – dilating his heart. There’s a romantic sense to this poem, wonderful use of friday 5 words and the whole poem goes so well with the image.

Your poem seeps through my veins and leaves me wanting more of this story you have created. Thanks for sharing this beautifully romantic piece. Have a nice weekend.

Thank you all for your comments which are very helpful. I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that what I enjoy doing most is telling a story.

Ah, how sweet this is…I agree with the others, this piece could easily produce a continuation!

Your poem has a mystery- his wounds, his hounds, as well as romance. I like how you spun a tale of hope. Beautiful work.

You do know how to tell a story – and the picture is a great accompaniment.
