Notes About The Poem

Sensuous Art -Pink Sweet Peas by Georgia O'Keeffe

The sensitive strokes of Georgia O'Keeffe's brush have aroused in sweet pea petals, a tender pink blush In these ruffled labian folds, painted as a fragile flower buds beget blooms in their feminine garden bower

Lin, I think your choice of words adds to the discussion of her subject matter and what she depicted. She certainly had an impact over her near century of life. I applaud what you're doing. Smiles!!

Lin, I enjoyed reading your poem, and researching the artist, who said something to the effect that a picture conveys more than words can tell. True. I also liked the ending and word choice-bower- and reading between the lines. FAV.

I must admit I was scratching my head a bit so googled her, now it all makes sense, she is an amazing artist and if the human body inspired her why not, that in itself is a work of art. You captured her style well in your verse Lin. Tom

Now me being a red blooded male, I only see a typo Lin, I don’t know what Ink and possibly Dilly are on about, but I have no doubt in my mind you meant to type Labyrinth, yeah that’s it! Still it’s a pretty piece of work lol! Cheers David

ummm David. I'm going to ignore your 'depth' comment with a smile and just say thanks for being the only male (so far) for having the courage to comment at all.

Perhaps I’ve found myself in a labyrinth of femininity and am way out of my depth, so like a true red blooded male I’m outta here before the walls close in lol!

You're not getting off with that lame explanation, David. LOL If I can use labian, and you admit to being a red blooded male.... that's definitely not a typo. Thanks for finding it 'pretty.'

Omg! Did i just read L folds! So brave and clever of you and how youve used it here is just so poetic for some reason. I use that word when im usually annoyed. Hah the subtle flow of alliterations and rhymes and softness of your elegant words woven here is truly impressive dear lin! Pleasure reading! Sending you light always

Hi, Ink. Yes, you did read it correctly. LOL Dilly and I were discussing Georgia O'Keeffe's beautiful art and the fact that perhaps... some poets here might not appreciate a certain insight to her artistic talent. I'm truly grateful that you found it "elegantly" written and appreciate her art. Thanks, Ink.
