Odette
Gold gilt mirrors
and lots of art
silky robes,
beaded scarfs
rubys and emeralds
graced her hands
at her feet layed half a man,
he wept and sobbed
made a mess on the floor
she got up, she couldn't
take the noise anymore,
he reached for her as she left
and that was the last time
he would see his dear, sweet, Odette.
She didn't go out the door,
it was the window.

Dear N,
Odette. A complicated character. She drowns in Swan Lake but her ending here is much swifter. I loved the twist at the end. I’ve read this several times and each time it made me think no matter how much beauty and wealth you posses inner harmony is the key. I love your thoughtful poems, and your photo’s should be exhibited in the national art gallery. H🌷

Thank you for the awesome compliment and support ❤❤❤
I totally forgot about swan lake and Odette, funny thing is I was gonna title this swan dive. Lol so in my mind I had correlated the two somehow. Memory can be weird.

Sadness and mystery, what a mix.... why was he so prostrate and why the dramatic exit? Very thought provoking N. As usual, super write... ❤️🌹🌹

Beautifully metaphoric, Nikki. The imagery was stunning and the poem simply flowed as water.

Aw damn I wish I was that cool. I never scoped your specs close enough to see... and prolly woulda missed the obvious. But the 1,001 Arabian Tales yes very much.
In my mind I always thought the mistress's real talent was holding suspense. She kept herself alive by it, while sloooowly securing the mind of the Sultan.
You drop it hot on the everyday or the overlooked, and turn it suspenseful. Without running out of content. Hence: nikkimoe feels like Scheherazade.
Damn. 10-01. Collective Soul: December or maybe Counting Crows: Long December resonate with the side of you chosen to be revealed in your work
