The sky with stars our chandelier
with feet in moss, we dance
my love, my fey
I’m yours, your prey
with feet in moss, we dance
You tease me softly, to a trance
in your forest night and day
in sun and rain
delight and pain
in your forest night and day
Don’t care about the prize I pay
with you, at peace, insane
I have no fear
when you are near
with you, at peace insane.
For you, I let myself be slain
my death for you my dear
was not romance
I had no chance
my death for you my dear
Today Laura hosts dVerse with a new form, the roundabout a 20-line poem with an intricate rhyme scheme and meter. I think I got it, and look forward if I got it right.

This is gorgeous, and such a complicated form to tackle!
Bravo – well executed. lovely topic is Lamia and you managed some good rhymes too
By Jove you got it, Björn! I love the chandelier of stars and dancing in moss.
The “chandelier of stars” is gorgeous and what a macabre dance! So well written.
Absolutely love this poem! The form
sounds challenging.
Beautiful love poem.
Happy Thursday Björn.
Much❤love
::::swoon:::: oh to be that maiden. you have gone far beyond nailing it this time, my dear Bjorn.
It all comes together in a passioantely “roundabout” way: that second stanza is to die for, metaphorically speaking of course 🙂
Very nicely done, Bjorn. Smitten by love… the best it can be!
Just wonderful, the form lends itself to a dance nicely.
Your poem does a wonderful job of capturing the tragic romance of Waterhouse. And it fits the form so well.
Wow! Well done.
What a delight to see this. Thanks for sharing. XoXo
“chandelier of stars” is stunning!
