THE LADY AND THE HIGHWAYMAN

She did the mummer's dance

while the music played she

twirled, swayed did a sexy prance.



She did this for marco polo

she did not know who he was

but oh my she put on a show.



She was the love of the highway man

the daughter of a peasant farmer

they were of a family clan.



She was the most beautiful child

her love was so intense

but she had a heart that was wild.



It was only the idea of love

that kept her feet on the ground

and her eyes on heavens above.



She grew into a woman old

had lived a life full

her heart tamed but never cold.

Great poem I come away from this verse shaking my head and saying; 'How true, How true; love can keep us young forever' Here is an inference in your poem that is never mention and yet it can be clearly seen - HER SMILE! I swear I can see her smile. Great poem.

What an original idea. I like the concept, and I like where you went with it. "Her heart tamed but never cold."

???? My sister, you never cease to amaze me. Sometimes, I wish that I could walk around in your head for even 5 minutes. It must be a wonderful place. Again, a tribute to Loreena MacKinnit is an honour to her. If only she knew how much we admire her talent, eh? Beautiful & haunting. Amy
