Notes About The Poem

1st placement

silent one sponsored contest

Anacreontic couplets with aabb rhyme sequence

27/12/2023

 

Naked women Anacreontic couplets

next to fountain nude she stood,
a delight for all manhood!

her skin was fair, curls so black,
muscles showed down to her back.

her hands were on both her breasts,
smile was invite to the guests.

a few more girls kept her side,
not demure, their legs were wide.

there was joy and laughter too,
men milled around, stole a view.

wine with beer made men bawdy,
some old spinsters went rowdy!

nudes remained by the fountain,
sculpted stones from rock mountain!

nude stone sculptors are a charm,
why profane in human form?

Kim Rodrigues January 3, 2024 at 7:13 PM Congratulations on your win, Krish! Seems you explored the nakedness of sculptures. I just brought my 9 year old grandson to a museum. Krish Radhakrishna January 3, 2024 at 9:05 PM Thanks Kim! Museum can give immense education and can inspire! I am currently reading European history and learning so much about human nature.

Susan Ashley January 1, 2024 at 5:50 PM Dear Krish, congratulations for your wonderful placement in Silent One's contest with your intriguing poem. Indeed, values about nudity can be seen as hypocritical, as your last couplet so deftly expresses. Warmest wishes for a happy new year.. ~Susan Krish Radhakrishna January 1, 2024 at 10:15 PM Dear Susan It is always a pleasure to hear from you! Thanks for your valued words! Writing something different is a challenge, and there is a risk of being misunderstood! So pleased this poem has been well received! My very best to you for the New Year!

Silent One January 1, 2024 at 10:56 AM Not sure why you would write about naked women, but your did this one with good flow.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Krish Radhakrishna January 1, 2024 at 12:10 PM Pleased to see this as a winning entry. I was trying to compare naked sculptors with human nudity, how one adorns palaces as work of art, and the other is considered unacceptable. It is an unexplained hypocrisy. Social vs Art values
