elsewhere enough exact entry
emulation ((n.) jealous rivalry)
ethereal (extremely delicate or refined)
edge erase
exoteric ((adj.) suitable to be communicated to the general public
easement (something that gives ease; a convenience)
elsewhere seems a picture of emptiness
enough to endure but lacking of pleasure
exacting into realms of powers of fondness
for entry into an exclusive club of leisure
emulation of a rare mermaid's gambit
ethereal beauty of exquisite measure
in its wonder for affections' exquisite
with images of a dashing paramour
sitting on edge unsure since morning
exoteric in its quest for quiet protection
likely to erase any pretenses delimiting
for easement of attracting attention

Beware that beauty though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a remarkable image and what a fabulous job you did capturing it while incorporating the words!

A beauty of such measure can be a danger indeed. Love what you did the the photo Hank!
ReplyDeleteHave to watch the attention you get and receive
ReplyDeleteThat beginning sets the tone perfectly — elsewhere is something to be desired only from a distance. I really like how you have used the e-words in such a free-flowing manner — they sound a natural part of the poem. Very well-penned, Hank! :-)
ReplyDeletethe distance holds the chimera-like promise! mirage for some, is always more tantalizing and promising than reality .... but nothing ventured, nothing gained, unless forearmed and warned.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and richly textured poem. The beauty you describe is definitely other-worldly
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the image and the given words.
ReplyDeleteSo well done with the E's - an excellent flow.
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
great opening.. nice take on a tough wordle!
ReplyDeleteGood play with words, capturing the essence of that image: "a picture of emptiness...lacking of pleasure".
ReplyDeleteOh...how we love words!
Wonderful job incorporating the words into this fascinating world.
ReplyDeleteI like your use of the "rare mermaid", that is up to use to piece together exactly what that means. One thing is she eats up a lot of "E" word hints.
