Oldest Living Treasure

She's the oldest living treasure that the world has ever seen; 
A creator of arts, with her canvas, the human skin. 
Her beauty outshines many younger generations. 
Her charm could be the greatest among all her possessions. 

She's a glimmer of the island of the far east, from the north. 
She's a pleasant scene being craved, of tempting sort. 
May it be someone from the west or the east, 
everyone gladly comes to gather for her feast.  

*For Apo Whang-Od, the oldest living tattoo artist in the world at 106, a living treasure, in celebration of my 500th poem in Soup.*

These are the important milestones Poetry was made to convey, and you conveyed it so well. Just the right emphasis in each stanza with the last a push for the importance of your subject to all. It is a while since I have looked at your work but glad I found time for this one. Best regards David in NZ
