Elegance Poems
Zij die zacht voorbijgaat
by Mario Odekerken
Ze beweegt alsof stilte haar kent,
alsof elke stap iets achterlaat
dat niet met ogen
maar met aandacht wordt opgevangen.
Haar aanwezigheid
is geen roep,geen echo,
maar een fluistering
waar de ruimte zich naar buigt.

With elegant grace she overflowed
by erato mymuse
I saw my Muse briefly again today
and the sight of her took my breath away.
Upon her such beauty has been bestowed
as with elegance and grace she overflowed.
It's a privilege to have such a Muse
and I'd hate her love and friendship to loose.
She's a wonderful gift beyond measure
and to see her gives me so much pleasure.
Table 48

TABLE 48 ON THE 2001 NEW YEAR’S CRUISE
ABOARD THE ZENITH
We are nearing the end of a delightful cruise.
Enjoying dinner partners we did not choose.
Even if we tried, we could select none finer.
Let’s announce the name of each elegant diner:
Edythe, Hermine, and my wife, Bonnie, here;

Elegance
by Oscar Auliq-Ice
Elegance is grace, in every way,
A beauty that can never stray,
It's found in things both great and small,
A quality that touches all.
It's in the way the willow sways,
In the softness of a morning's haze,
In the gentle rustle of a dress,
And the way a flower’s petals caress.

The Beauty That’s Within Me and You
by Oscar Auliq-Ice
Elegance, a word so rare,
It conjures up an image fair,
Of beauty, grace, and charm so true,
A quality that's prized anew.
It's seen in how a dancer moves,
Her every step a graceful groove,
Or in the lines of a sculpted art,
That captures the eye and steals the heart.

Incomprehensible femininity
by erato mymuse
My dear Erato, I would really like to say
you grow more comely in every way
and this poor poet would hate to lose
such a lovely and adorable Muse.
Through your eyes like deep pools of mystery
into the sweet labyrinth of your mind I see
and wander down those enigmatic ways
discovering the riches your mind displays.

Couplet: Elegance
by Peter Dr Lim
Elegance is more than beauty :
it embraces an all-pervading quality
