The White Glove

Cannot you see it? That perfect, stark white glove
for opera,
she is drawing it on just now, slowly,
with intent, onto her left hand.

Her right hand's fingers caress lightly her left wrist,
slightly tugging, gently easing the
glove up her silken arm,

then smoothing the gossamer-like cotton of the glove,
with her right hand, oblivious, 'tho it is gloveless.

And the art of her is just like a portrait unfinished.

Ahhhhhh
That's what I like to see
That is beauty as only you can portray it, wonderful
What happend to the emerald green eyes? I must have been blind this morning, forgot half the words. perhaps it was the poem that blinded me.< !signature-->

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Shall we have dinner first, or drive strait to the opera? A painting I would love to hang on the wall.

Karilea~
I really like the image of this.
So prim, proper, prissy and pretty !
What a picture it makes.
