Willow Manor Ball


I arrive in my customary style,
cloaked,
masked,
showing off
my 
best
assets.

I prefer to sashay about
as if 
in a 
swashbuckling
stupor.


I accept the gloved
invitation.

The brandy went
straight
to
my
head.


I danced 
in
color.


I was spied upon
by
Raven
Women.


The attention 
made me
grow
bold.



Some disapproved
of my
choice
of
dance
partners.


Others were
simply
gallant.

Perhaps, even
celebratory.


I ended my evening,
romancing
the
stone.



My stamina
all
spent,


I wing
my
way
home.


Thank you, Tess, for the invite to the Annual Willow Manor Ball.
'Twas a night to remember.

Happy Birthday to Us !!!!

      Although very artsy, my style tends to be abstract. I appropriated the images for my pleasure....I am such a bad girl !!!!
