Oh fine feathered friend
plumage of passion!
Let me guide your quill
across this gooseflesh trail.
Perhaps it would be too chancy
for you to tickle my fancy.
Sweet strigil.....
seek my inner sanctum.

Ha! That's excellent, the strigil- yeah, it makes sense. Comparing the feather with it was also a good choice, a very believable interpretation of the painting.
Congrats on the gold, and very well done!

GOLDEN !!!!
This was teasingly executed with the perfect words to pull together a tasteful, whimsical write. I loved it and laughed when I finished. It truly dances as you read it from beginning to end, excellent, excellent pursuit of words delivering a crystal clear image
This is pulling you a shiney girl! ~Tia
