As stunning as an April faun <br />................stepping out of the misty incoming dawn, <br />On the lip of a wishing well <br />................reposes a budding woman, Danielle. <br /> <br />The beauty of her name befits her well. <br />No other name can cast that spell. <br /> <br />................Amelia - too sweet even for a bee <br />................Victoria - old country royalty <br />................Maria - a nice song from the west side <br />................Margarita - too salty for any to abide <br />................Alberta - a clipper, a ship, a gale <br />................Gilda - a remnant of the ages and mail <br />................Delta - that’s a plane <br />................Hilda - a Germanic claim <br />................Priscilla - a pill with a whisper <br />................Rosetta - isn’t that a stone deciphered? <br /> <br />NO! –––– Danielle <br /> <br />................It’s she who stands in sun’s eye, <br />................Pastelled with the mist of the dawn, <br />................Framed beside the country well. <br /> <br />.............................Danielle, Danielle <br /> <br />................I fancy that beautiful name <br />................And she’s prettier than any <br />........................................I have ever seen, <br />................The twin of one as pretty as she.<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/danielle/
