- Admit It, Nude Is Natural -

provocation art
                                  trash - because it's immoral (?)
                                           nudity ... beauty

                                         pride and prejudice
                                     to descending a staircase
                                       throw the towel - now

                                          blessed virgin mary
                                   she did not wear underpants
                                       nude ... under the dress

                                         - some airy shadows 
                                       is virgin birth possible (?)
                                        - dance the naked truth

                                         open flame - no wind
                                        nude skin is vulnerable
                                         - longing in the walls

                                             liberated steps
                                        of humility and pride
                                        - which opens for play

                                        moon - colors my skin
                                     the earth continues to spin
                                   goosebumps - keep me warm

                                          on the sheet of silk
                                         use your imagination
                                         - twilight's red jewel

Quoth Theraven Date: 10/13/2019 12:29:00 PM Anne-Lise, 'Underpants' What a great word. I must 'Admit it - Nude is natural'. I think Marcel Duchamp would approve. I have two other voices in my head that want to express appreciation for this piece. They remain suppressed even as they tickle and jab. So childish they are. -Richard Login to Reply Quoth Theraven Date: 3/18/2020 12:18:00 AM SS, We need more contest like this one is these trying times, to take our minds off the darkened days. -R Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 10/13/2019 12:39:00 PM - NUDE descending a staircase, was made in 1937 (Marcel Duchamp) ... Nude ... was almost a taboo at that time, Richard :) - // Anne-Lise :)
