She walked out of showers like they were tropical waterfalls,
her skin a-shimmer with diamonds,
sun snogged not just sun kissed
and hair in thick pomegranate ropes
that she would only let me touch once a blue moon,
when her lips were curled like sickles
and parted, soft, pliant,
then I could curl those ropes around my wrist
and capture a sunset.

Tonight’s Tuesday poetics has offered up an array of artwork for the pub’s patrons that use for inspiration. I picked Sylvia Chan’s piece as it was the only one that sparked an idea straight away.

Love the image of that hair… you really captured her so well, with the same bright colors as the painting.
Capture me a sunset…Love the brushstrokes of the summer girl ~ Great choice of photo ~
Thank you. 🙂
I’d love to meet this girl and watch that sunset. Wonderful images!
This is just gorgeous, Carol. Who wouldn’t fall in love with her?
A lovely image wrapped in ropes of love, you have done well!
Thank you.
Well good heavens, this is HOTTTTT! I am seriously impressed. Yum, yum, yum. 🙂
I especially like these:
“hair in thick pomegranate ropes”
“her lips were curled like sickles”
“then I could curl those ropes around my wrist
and capture a sunset” … Absolutely breathtaking, in the most delicious way.
Thank you. I did wonder if it was a bit too saucy in places but I decided just to go with it.
Beautiful….capturing a sunset means it (she) is imprinted on your soul.
The painting does justice to the poetry.
summer exuberance so delightfully captured…
Thank you. 🙂
Glorious
I love the “sun snogged” and “hair in thick pomegranate ropes” — this is a woman to be reckoned with. Lips curled like sickles makes me wary….but she is delectable!
Gorgeous imagery…and I like the “sauciness”!
This piece spoke ‘joy’ to me too 🙂 I love your idea of this summer girl and capturing a sunset!
Great imagery! Your words befit the artwork.
Thank you. That’s great to hear. It’s such a fantastic piece.
Whoo! This is smokin’ hot! Your words fit the image perfectly 🙂 Love the imagery.
Thank you. I’m glad you think so.
