The sun rises, and as she takes her place, a sanguine sun tints ivory skin pink. And my artist's hand soon begins to race, sketching her beauty with charcoal and ink. Ebony shading outlines almond-eyes like in a black-and-white fantasy dream. Pink cotton-candy clouds color the skies as Sol's gold light makes her kimono gleam. With makeup as featureless as white smoke; silk ribbons adorn this porcelain doll. And capturing elegance with each stroke, my muse is inspired to preserve it all. A Japanese Geisha touts perfection; nothing about her evokes correction.
