Rendezvous in Paris

by Mimed Lovette   Apr 20, 2013


A calligrapher of sullen mind,
captivating in his inked work so fine.
He scrawled words of faith, hope and love;
and ended with a "Dearly beloved.

London, Holland, Greece and Berlin...
countless of countries he had been.
Taking his precious art, in search
of a divine muse on lilac perch.

The sun shivers underneath the stare
of the rising moonlight's dare.
Alas here comes a titillating scent,
one mixed with nutmeg, from around the bend.

Her grey eyes depict the Artic snow,
where marbled tears silently flow.
Taking long sips of Blossom Fizz Everie,
lost in a carousel of fond reverie.

As if he departed from a bereft life,
into an illusion of Utopia he dived.
With swift hands, a script of love and curse,
he ended his career with a stunning quietus.

Inspired by French quote:
Le plus grand faible des hommes,
c'est l'amour qu'ils ont de la vie.
Man's greatest weakness is his love of life.
-Moliere.

    This poem of yours was different to me this time. I don't often find anything wrong in your poems, they always seem to flow so effortlessly. However, this time.. while I did love your poem, the quote was quite fitting, and lovely, though at times I feel like the words we were told to use were a bit forced, maybe it would have been different had I not known the words were meant to be used. Not sure. I hate giving criticism that could be taken wrong, hope you don't mind my opinion though :) I do love the mentioning of the certain cities, they are all so lovely in their own ways, I especially love Greece, the buildings and such are all so white and just gorgeous! London of course has always been known to be very romantic and the other ones mentioned were great as well.

    'The sun shivers underneath the stare'
    ^Lovely line, I love how you used 'shivers', it was perfect! Not something I hear all that often.

    'Her eyes depict the Arctic snow'
    ^Another great creative line that I loved!

    This is a good poem, just feel like the randomness of the words we were given to use may have thrown the poem off slightly, especially the drink you named, I feel like that was definitely forced so that it rhymed with reverie. I did love the usage of the words you came up with though, shivers, & rendezvous especially. There's much to love about this poem, even though there were parts that I felt were a bit forced to fit the challenge. Good job! :D
