lovely
and dripping
with youth
she was
worthy
of being torn
from the well-thumbed pages
of women's magazines
adorned and adored --
some body of art
.
her sweet heart
swooned
for hand plucked apples
from the garden
of the gods
.
oh, how man
fell from grace
before her ice cold feet,
her summer blouse
unbuttoned
.
she poured herself
a well mixed drink, made a splash,
and then
got stoned

This is a beautiful, majestic and stunningly magical piece, Christy. I have already read it four times and Iβm beginning to get a little bit stoned myself. Congrats on a well deserved Top Story. This is top shelf poetry for sure!
An outstanding top story! Well done ππ€π«Άπ»ππ»
This is delightfully clever, Christy! Fantastic. A well-deserved TS. Congratulations!
To describe a coveted beauty with such evangelical and down to earth phrasing is incredible. The word "stoned" after all the connotations you have threaded fts immaculately. A poem that really wraps itself around itself. Great work!
Your use of vivid imagery and concise lines creates a vivid snapshot of a moment filled with both longing and rebellion, wonderful, thanks for sharing, love your works, subscribed.
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! ππππππ
Oooo!! This was amazing Christy, loved the feel of this one and the wa it just flowed!! Great work and congrats on Top Story!!
Interesting poem. Continue writing.
Nice work. Congrats on the top story.
Lovely piece of work.
Such gorgeous writing!
Oh my god you nailed the structure here! And the character... How did you do that?! By the end I was like, "I know how to admire this woman, but I surely don't know this woman." Damn. Really beautiful work.
Oh how I love this
Fragmenting compound words works so well here. Congrats.
Oh how succumbing and sensual!
Congrats on Top story, Christy! So sorry I missed this one! Superb work as usual!!
Is this poem about Eve?
Just an excellent procession of lyrical perfection
Wow. This is excellent. All seems great with her world, and then that last line.
Wow, Christy! The last verse is my favourite! "she poured herself a well mixed drink, made a splash, and then got stoned" This is just brilliant! <3
This was so poignant and it hit me so hard. Loved your poem!
The ludic punning does not compromise the gravitas of the whole. Nice work!
