Notes About The Poem

50 Shades of Naked

If you are 50 and you are naked
Please
Make it a poem and not a photo
A poem we see your inner beauty
A photo we see out of warranty
A poem we see you’re giving spirit
A photo we see your sagging dreams
A wilting flower is majestical poetry
On paper is part of a suicide note
A naked mind will melt hearts young and old
A naked old man will scare away the scare crows
No one wants to see grandma naked
Not even poor old grandpa
But we will love her all the more
For chocolate chip cookies and loving hugs

You however my princess
At fifty x three, lovely and naked just for me
And I will love you to the very bone

This is the nakedness of outer and inner beauty; very clever; enjoy your twists, as always, Arthur. // paul

Well thank you, and you know me, this poem, was about both topics, inner beauty, and the fact we age, and how unpleasant that can feel inside for us all!

Dear Arthur, There is too much attention payed to outer beauty, a fleeting attribute. Although I laughed at the "out of warranty" line, I was quite impressed with the last three lines. No matter how old we get, those we love most always look beautiful to us. Witty and charming! Love, carolyn
