The Shower Curtain

.
            The flower’s image before me
                                stares

         So overwhelmed by the splendor
                     my fingers become
                              agitated
                              restless
                               frantic
                       and what spills
                       sears mine slip

           stunning sky blue decorate
                      the sylphs eyes
     clustered blond tresses ornament
             her soft Caucasian flesh 
                          to her hips
       leading this soul’s gaze to those
                naked distended lips

             The poet pining for this
                  petite nubile miss

Don't know which is more fun, your verse or Daver's pacemaker. Either way, I enjoyed both.

Keep your eye on the shower curtain flower. The one within is mere whimsy. Be still my old heart - pace maker going wild. Love, daver

And now you are at the shower curtain. Boy, James, you just love seeing those nude women in every place imaginable! Your poetry fits the lyrics of that song that says, "my sweet little imagination!"

Wonderfully romantic, James! I can just imagine you pining for the "petite nubile miss" behind the shower curtain. I think this is one of your best poems and it's going to my favorites. I did find an old address for you and hope you haven't moved. Love, Carolyn
