About This Poem
PORTRAIT - Female with wine
PORTRAIT – Female with wine
She’s looking off, chin lifted -
Some afternoon reverie –
This full-faced blue-eyed blond dreamer
A slim-stemmed glass of red is prominent, but barely sipped
Her expression (the redness in her eyes) is
Well not a brown study but surely not bliss
No I’m guessing this musing has some soul-lingering favor –
A lover?
A loved one departed?
There is a certain intensity
A relaxed…fat preponderance
Her elbows on the table at rest
Arms, fingers cradling
Her long, flaxen hair sits atop both shoulders with a certain…
With flowing sophistication
Hope?
No.
More a doting resignation
“When the loving flame dies
Smoke”
