On a snowy cold wintery weekend needing some heat (*wink*), I share a graphic and a short poem about a tall man whom we all so admire, Richard Armitage.
Richard Armitage: Winter Haiku by Gratiana Lovelace, 2014
Lion in Winter,
His gaze beckons with promise.
Our hearts, ever his.

P.S. Anatomy of a Graphic Manip–My graphic contains three images that I blended together:

P.S. Click for more about the Japanese poetry form called Haiku’s and its 5-7-5 syllables pattern, etc.

About Gratiana Lovelace
Gratiana Lovelace is my nom de plume for my creative writing and blogging. I write romantic stories in different sub genres. The stories just tumble out of me.
My resurgence in creative writing occurred when I viewed the BBC miniseries of Elizabeth Gaskell's novel North & South in February 2010. The exquisitely talented British actor portraying the male lead John Thornton in North & South--Richard Crispin Armitage--became my unofficial muse. I have written over 50 script stories about love--some are fan fiction, but most are original stories--that I am just beginning to share with others on private writer sites, and here on my blog. And as you know, my blog here is also relatively new--since August 2011. But, I'm having fun and I hope you enjoy reading my blog essays and my stories.
Cheers! Grati ;-> upd 12/18/11
