Notes About The Poem

A One-Liner Poetry Contest, Suzette Richards, 8/5/2026

23 syllables, Used "gracile," one of two prompts

...but those who understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads; but, for my own part, it was Greek to me...

--Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," - Casca

It's Greek to me, meaning not understandable.

Gracile Goddess

Gracile goddess with budding bosom, wedding-ring waist,
Greek language; proposing imperfection.

Very cool, Kim. You used an intellectual approach which shows cleverness. I sure wish I had a wedding ring waist with my budding bosom. I could be like Barbie doll! 😄
