Nude

No hands to show her modesty, in marble she was bold Underneath the stones where she was found, ... opposed to wearing clothes Discovered, cold, in Grecian dust, she disclosed her naked charms Exposed, she poses quite composed, but still without her arms ! _____________________________________________________________ Inspired by Venus de Milo, ancient statue of Aphrodite Contest: "Naked" Sponsor : Anthony Slausen

well, of course this had to be yours!! I had a few other poets in my mind that it might belong to also!! Such an intelligent and beautiful way to do an acrostic. I am hoping to do yet another contest and I would love it if everyone used this way as a model for one. Congrats for your win.
