James Peranteau Poet Free verse

Her True Colors

.

        On the canvas
   laid out flat her length

         she did twist
               coil
          and  spiral

         Yes she did 
           meander
          uncovered

         On the wet

            chosen
              oils

Stephen Parker April 4, 2011 at 6:31 PM Interesting that you seem to twine natural beauty and applied beauty (chosen oils). A natural beauty is laid bare, and enhanced with the chosen instruments.

Charles Henderson November 5, 2010 at 10:58 PM James, you't think she would prefer latex. Very original. Charles

Audrey Haick November 3, 2010 at 9:58 PM This little verse exudes much sensuality, James...exquisite write..totally. Love, Audrey

Carolyn Devonshire November 3, 2010 at 7:04 AM You give new meaning to "body painting" in this sensual poem, James. I would have loved to see the "canvas" when she was finished. Very original and quite a provocative image, my friend! Love, Carolyn

Daver Austin October 27, 2010 at 9:46 AM This sounds like a Jackson Pollack painting. I guess, though, he had other techniques. This poem is SO open to exotic interpretation. You be de cool daddy. LOve, Dave
