The body of man, a standard
of virility for centuries
whether depicted on canvas
or chiseled with great ability
has always impressed with
shoulders, chests,
abdominal muscles bulging
in smooth, rippled marbled glory
always telling a story of
mythological, iconic grandeur,
standing erect, hard
as the tool
that shaped them and
I’m sure King David
would be proud, perhaps
even laugh aloud to know
women still love him but
I think maybe Michelangelo
cut things a little short,
is all I’m saying.
Adding your comment:
. Don't get me wrong, the craftmanship is not the problem. It's the figures themselves that are not so high and mighty 
. *cough**cough* However... Back onto the real subject....
