Bohemian woman,
a breath of fresh air.
Non-conformist chick -
there's nothing to compare.

No ordinary hippie
or dissenting beatnik,
you're a raving beauty,
a satellite amongst the stars
- like Sputnik.

Sensitive is your word,
quiet and unusual too.
A gentle, lyrical bird
with each poem giving
a clue to you.

You flew into my life
like Willo the Wisp,
a fleeting memory
I nearly missed.

You will return
of that I am sure;
playful and sweet,
a woman so pure.

Alice, it's a lovely lyrical poem with a lightness of touch (all those short delicate 'i' sounds) and I really enjoyed it! I think the 'chick' 'beatnik' rhyme too is one of the most memorable ones i've read, made me smile :-) lots of love nikki x

NB and whenever i'm losing touch with the free-spiritedness you allude to here i think i'll re-read your poem, so thank you :-)

How lovely Alice, from her poems, Nikki sounds exactly as you've described her, I too enjoyed the chick/beatnick rhyme, it's a word you don't hear much now. I also liked the description "a satellite among the stars".
