Thine eyne incliped fair anight

by Italian Stallion   May 1, 2009


'Tis fair anight that thee has oft incliped,
agazed thy complexion abates, yare to discase;
this bud of love by summer's ripening breath,
may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.

Nighted, the fineless flote, 'tis quaint...
anight, even the sky's eyne give oeilliad.
Fancy-free, nature's labras are softly vading,
embrasuring the whist union; garish anight by day.

Amorous glances pierce subdued nighted darkness,
garnering sheer beauty whilst yearning thy affect.
Stilly welkin waves pastels amidst its fineless canvas,
painting feature - union carkanet on thine bare neck.

    I loved the style of your poem, it was truly different and unique. The way you wrote it made the scene seem more romantic, I could convey your message but it was a little harder due to the style i had to go over a little slower.

    This is definitelyy something I didn't exspect. At any rate the poem was good. The flow was good and the rhyme was good as well. The idea was good to. Good poem.

    Thank you for submitting this to my contest. i found it fitting that this would be the first poem that i would comment on. i love your use of old English. it is a difficult poem to read without a dictionary and a couple other resources on table beside you:). i have never had the need to look up a word from a poem before and this was very refreshing ( i almost forgot how to use a dictionary) i honestly still don't understand some of it. all in all 5/5 and a very well deserved 1st place.

    `Sorry it took so long to repay your comment. (:

    Woah--
    this was something different, very different to what I've read on this site.
    I loved reading it, it had a something special.
    I think I'll comment in depth on the translated version because I'm not the biggest fan on Yee Old English, aha.
    But you managed to make it beautiful.

    Well done. (:

    Hey! Well, its the first time I've ever commented on such a strong Old English languaged poem!

    Wow, it's beautiful! I love your word usage, and the length you go to to create such warmth in my heart is extreme, yet not overdone.

    "Amorous glances pierce subdued nighted darkness,
    garnering sheer beauty whilst yearning thy affect.
    Stilly welkin waves pastels amidst its fineless canvas,
    painting feature - union carkanet on thine bare neck."

    ^^ the third stanza would have to be my favourite, as I think the metaphor [in my eyes] that you use is briliant, although I had to read it three or four times to let it soak in, it was just beautiful :) It, kinda sends shivers down my spine.. ".. on thine bare neck." < love these few words.. just love them!

    I love your imagery, and the way you place these Old English words together, and I know that they are hard to understand, but I still feel that sense of compassion, and that feel of love.

    Very well done!

    5 / 5 :)

    -Nicole.
