Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

In the Mood

Laura was couer-shaped,
the way her knees blossomed out,
magenta, genie-like sheer. She blew
kisses like cultivated fleurs de jour.
Her drooping necklace, a frolic of felicity.
Laura’s bodysuit pink — a glittering
off the shoulder bonbon,
holding perfect ample
and youthful bosoms.

Sam was blond,
a sunny-yellow brooding type. As Laura
faced West, He faced East. She leaned
against his ebony suit.
He wore a bowtie, not one that spins;
a scholarly erudite.
His cerulean shirt bleeds
deep in his heart, blue skies
infused into his profound eyes.

The third party, a french painter —
a poet, a woman’s woman.
Her husband gathered the flotsam —
driftwood to hang
on my wall. Romantic
whimsy gets me in the mood.

Shirley Hawkins August 14, 2020 at 11:55 PM From Laura being heart shaped to the brooding type( always mysterious)Vivid yellow fellow and his not one that spins bow tie.The brilliant colours dripped off of the artist brush.The Romance was Whimsical and expressed so vibrantly. My mind boggles on what work of art the husband could have found to hang on the wall from the sea. Made me smile .... A really beaut and clever Verse. Thank you, Kim Kim Rodrigues August 15, 2020 at 5:58 AM Thank you so much, Shirley! I’m glad you were able to visualize! <3 Kim

Caren Krutsinger August 12, 2020 at 12:34 AM Romantic whimsy at her best, Kim. I had to look up flotsam again; I always have to look it up, but it was worth it! Thank you for this one. Your imagery pranced off the page and blew a kiss at me. Kim Rodrigues August 12, 2020 at 4:36 AM Aww...so glad! Hugs!

Gershon Wolf August 11, 2020 at 7:51 PM Wow. You lured me right into the drawing-room, where I watched the masterpiece take shape. Lovely conceived and superbly penned, Kim! Light and Joy, Gershon Kim Rodrigues August 12, 2020 at 4:36 AM Light and joy, dear friend! Thank you!

Vijay Pandit August 11, 2020 at 3:16 PM Your poem shines, Kim, in the imagery you built in artistic words..mood elevates in company of art. Kim Rodrigues August 12, 2020 at 4:37 AM It surely does! Thank you! :)

Eric Ashford August 11, 2020 at 12:57 PM You have painted the scene so richly here Kim, the figures leap out of the French painting (I am assuming). Colorful and innocently sensual. A delight! e Kim Rodrigues August 12, 2020 at 4:38 AM That’s what I love about art! You must soak in the details and you find something new all the time! Thank you, Eric!

Jennifer Proxenos August 11, 2020 at 12:03 PM The three characters are so wonderfully portrayed, a contrast of characters - each one unique as God meant it to be. Great penning here Kim Very clever.

Carolyn Devonshire August 10, 2020 at 11:09 AM Wow, kisses that are like flowers of the day! You displayed a very nice contrast of characters, Kim. (It's hard to find nicely shaped driftwood, but it would be great to hang some on the wall.) The sea always makes me think of love and eternity.
