I was one afflicted
With need for beauty,
My most urgent and ardent
Thirst and hunger -
And then,
I caught a glimpse of you,
And my most extreme, dire yearning
For beauty
Was satisfied in one -
Just one glance!

Hey...it's Rachel. Thank you so much for this....have read your other poems and they are brilliant. You have so much talent....I am an English teacher, so I know what makes good poetry. You are up there with the giants.....keep writing. You have something Shakesperean about you, in the way you manage to take huge ideas and make them eloquent, yet simple. Keep going and send them off to publishers!
