A Token
My lady
fair with
soft
arms, what
can I say to
you—words, words
as if all
worlds were there.

About the photo:
Lenna or Lena is the name given to this standard test image originally cropped from Playboy's centerfold of Miss November, 1972. The image is probably the most widely used test image for all sorts of image processing algorithms (such as compression and denoising) and related scientific publications.
Few people have seen the complete original picture. If you want to view it (it contains nudity), go here:

Please write with concision and sensuality towards this Miss November.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 10
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 500, Bronze: 500
- Final notes: I was looking for something concise and sensual and found elements in each write that came in so I decided, for the final notes, to assemble a small "cento" using something from each of your poems and presented in the order in which the entries arrived. Thank you. I hope Lena sees them.
A Cento For Lena
Pretty lady
standing there-
just enough of nothing on
does all with only a gaze
in its most naked expression.
Flawless icon of our modernity-
Lena, lean.
The shutter clicks.
Still soft.
