Thoughts to a Dreamer (No. 2)

by W. Mahlon Purdin

A skinly crease upon her thigh,
A silent look within her eye:

A book is in her hands,
Who knows what,
Perhaps it's Lewis Carroll,
Or maybe "Camelot."

Beneath tinted glass looks closely
A very sensitive face,
Upon the Jabberwock, or a palace
Of some Arthurian place.

Smoothly waves like strands
Upon her shoulder lie,
And darkly shade her figure
Softly to the eye.

I really like that last stanza. It's a nicely written snapshot.
