Of Roses and Pearls.....

Oh, how I wish to be perfect like you
Born from the bottom of the sea
From your skeletal lacking mother
And in such purity, hard to fake
Yet easy to mistake.

And oh, how I wish I could be beautiful like you
With your undulating red lips
And your thin, skinny hips
And with just enough bite to make you in demand
And for all the mothers to love you, and all the fathers to want you.
Oh how lucky, those girlfriends are, when they receive you.

And together, oh joy, there's nothing more
Than the clearness of the sky, so true, untainted, are  you.
And I am nothing, nothing compared to you.
On a bed of blue silk, white purity and red beauty-
How ever you do represent!

    Rather lovely. I could see how you took that from the picture. Good luck.

    The comparisons in this are nice. You have made a picture of something pure and beautiful. My only dislike is the way over usage of the word and, especially for the beginnng of so many lines.

    Welcome to AP and good luck in the contest.

    Your first stanza is my favorite.
    I like how you put this together. Bringing the two together in the last stanza. Nicely done.
    Good luck to you in the contest and keep writing.

    WE Love this!!!!

    Very interesting!! And this is a real honor..
    Actually, if there was a picture here with a strand of pearls and a red rose on blue silk.. it wouldnt have been soo nicely visualised.. Your wordings seemed soo powerful!! Very well explained and your words were full of life..

    It brought the picture live!!

    A wonderful tribute!!

    Thanks..

    Welcome to All Poetry~

    Ohhhhhhh. So unique. I love it. It has so much
    to offer the reader, giving homage and explanation
    to readers.

    A little tweaking on the form is all I would suggest.

    Thank you. Warmly, CookieZeal/Site Greeter
