Rommy supplied poets with several memorable lines from The Princess Bride, encouraging us to choose one as inspiration for our poems. [we also had the option of choosing another line from the movie] I chose Westley saying to Buttercup "hear this now: I will always come for you"
** As You Wish **
Even if delayed by dragons, rain
or a goose with territorial issues ..
I shall arrive dramatically windblown
Hear this now: I will always come for you.
Thanks for the Friday afternoon smile.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this You painted quite a picture. Had to laugh about a goose with territorial issues
ReplyDeleteWe do love our heroes, especially the windblown dashing type, although "I will always come for you" can be comforting or alarming, depending on circumstances. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an uplifting verse - and love the ending - Jae
ReplyDeleteWonderful take Helen! You are taking 'determination' to a whole new level, higher level in fact!

I love it! The kind of brave, romantic love we all want – and want to give. (Personally, I think I would choose to arrive riding one of the dragons. *Wink.*)
ReplyDeleteLove the message
ReplyDeleteand I love is when determination is driven by commitment, dedication and not so much by obsession...
Ha!...great poem...here's looking at you kid:)
ReplyDeleteLOL, geese don't play around so this indeed must be true love!
ReplyDeleteloved your take... cracked up about the goose... what goose doesn't have issues such territory... my mom use to chase our goose with a broom.... now she had issues.... the movie was a beautiful love story after all
