Poetry
Loreli
By LilGryphMaster
23 March 2005
A poem inspired by the ancient German "fairy-tale" of the same name. It is set on the Rhine River in Eastern Germany.

Her golden comb shines at the peak
Her eerie song is what I seek

Her long, blonde hair plays catch with the wind
Her unspeakable beauty my heart does mend

She sits on her mountain
I stand in my ship
Her eyes like a fountain
My eyes on her lips

She makes my heart flutter
Whilst the rocks break my rudder

As she blinks
My ship sinks

Think I get it

Kind of a German siren type of thing? 
 
Liked it except the last two lines seemed to lack the punch they should have had.  
 
But then I know naught about poetry.  
 
Liked it though.
