Venus, Decorated



Venus, Decorated

            a
Goddess
is ever so slightly
spun away from observers
reclining across a sultry bed
adorned w/ a silky overspread
gingery, upward sweeping strokes
define the curvy contours of her body
bowed out at the hip, in at the stomach
& out again at her soft willowy shoulder
her
body dictates
the gilded frame
the
masterpieces’ limits
commence at her slender foot
& conclude w/ her elegant elbow
            a
Goddess
            decorated
            for your pleasure

This little writing exercise from my bud was to create a work of art with words. Couldn't have come at a better time.

Did I succeed?

In propinquity,
Nic
