Love, Lumiere

A younger sister cannot wed before an older sister.It's a law of their society, a rule vehemently obeyed by prominent families in the nobility, and it's always been Ella Harrington's buffer. Ella has never been interested in marrying for anything short of love itself. Unfortunately for her, love is a rarity in the marriages of the aristocracy. Fortunately for her, her sister Emily is precisely one year older than her and is the most unpleasant, disagreeable, sulking woman to ever debut in all of England. So Ella may never have to marry at all.A free woman, she enjoys her time on the sidelines and wishes for nothing more. That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother's. Suddenly, Ella finds herself questioning the antiquated marriage order rule as her buffer begins to feel more like a barrier. Not that it matters. The Duke isn't interested in her anyway.Right?

Just a spot for my poetry going in 2023. Criticism welcome.As a novelist I look at short stories and poems as exercises. Poetry in particular helps me with word choice, coherence, and ironically writing speed. I've always struggled with an appreciation for poetry in particular as the discourse around it can be too ambivalent or too exclusive. As with all of my work, my skills come from self exploration and discussions with writers I've met in my life.I'll try to keep the poems clean, but please assume that you may need to do some arduous self reflection. I hope you get something out of this.A S H

That's how he found himself being pushed over the railing of a bridge by some women he didn't even know, being accused of purposely seducing their boyfriends.
