Bear in mind that poetry is only a hobby for me, so if this reads like crap, well, such is the nature of things.

PIQUANCY
Ah, forsooth! Such a lovely aspect of
contention, whose raven tresses, so tightly
bound, induce dismayed longing and
inchoate pangs of remembered despair in the
dark hearts of men.

For such austere majesty, untrammeled and
unscarred through honest travail, should
hinder the voice of any subtle nightingale,
it’s siren call lost in a void of honest speculation.

Indomitable poise, so pure in face and form,
conceals a heart abiding in abysmal sorrow,
from whence peals of laughter once rang,
silenced forevermore at the touch of a false kiss.

This makes me think of Victorian poetry. . .

I agree. I like it a lot.
