Notes About The Poem

Ekphrasis on Nathaniel Bacon's paintings 

 

LOVELY LADIES SERIES bacon

Nathaniel Bacon posed vegetables artistically
alongside a 'model' so erotically

Cookmaid
Bacon's simple scullery maid
with all her beauty displayed

Pear,
cabbage
and melons-
in harvested still
life.
A
witty
juxtapose-
as her cleavage
show.
