A Sensational II Challenge Poem
By Cindy CalderPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read
Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus (courtesy of WikiImages on Pixabay)
The whispers of echoed silence derived in wondrous delight,
Amidst the prevailing, crisp smell of creative brilliance so right,
Pearlescent colors sustain and reflect streams of bright light
Rippling along altruistic anatomical undulations as they ignite
The pungent taste of a manifested dream sprung forth to life.

Great imagery, an ekphrastic little pearl, Cindy. Dream girl.
To me this is a great description of the image chosen 'Venus on the half shell'.
This is beautiful, Cindy. Well done.
Beautiful poem, Cindy, and one of my favorite paintings I was lucky to see in person in Italy.
Lovely!😊💕💗
I am very disappointed I cant paint right now. As in, right now, I am disappointed I cant paint. Not that I cant paint right now. Time is not the impediment here.
Rippling along altruistic anatomical undulations as they ignite So beautiful and I do so love alliterations and how they roll of the tongue great work!
I especially love that last line
As evocative as the painting!
Oooo, I learnt a new word from you today, pearlescent! Your poem was soooo stunning and I loved it so much!
