FRAMING THE PIN-UP GIRL His hands, they frame and catch, the pin-up girl. Tanned hands, they're hot - he drops his sweaty palms. Her lips - plum succulence. Hair’s suavely curl ~ a brilliant cinnamon. He has some qualms. Approaches beauty queen with plastered smile. She feigns to look away ~ that’s just her way. Performance broken by his slipshod style. Turns out, they're moon and sun ~ like night and day. The opposite attract of belle and nerd, A curative for broken-hearted ~ bliss. A certain bit of trouble is assured. Before the final curtain falls ~ love’s kiss. He’s coy and lovable and kind of dreamy. She’s brash and pushy but she’s rather steamy. 9/28/2017

I read most of the poems in this contest. Yours stood out to me as it allowed me to get into character. Rather than a long story, you concentrated on a moment, a feeling. "Her lips - plum succulence. Hair’s suavely curl ~ a brilliant cinnamon. He has some qualms." A perfect description of a man caught in a true moment of romance.
