Makes me feel like dancing! Reads like part English ballad, part 19th-century romantic verse, part modern symbolist song.The rhymes are effortless and the structure is subtle but sound. Almost a perfect expression of that picture, too. Not too many of us are doing poetry or verse, and maybe we should do more. You've posted several poems, but this might be your best one.

Ian, this is slightly weird. Yesterday (before seeing the image) I was toying with the idea of writing something lyrical this week - something with the title "The Ballad of [someone]". That's two weeks in a row now - get the hell outta my brain will ya! ps: Lovely! OK… Ian, this is slightly weird.
