The Look

She has the look;
As though an 1890s architect
Had tired of drawing yet another lobster boat,
And, glancing out
Took note the bother of a denim sea
Squeezed into the harbor.
Instantly
He caught the future.
Victorian her lines could be
No more. For "wild nights"
EMILY progressed.
Her mast crept forward.
Though bound with hoops straight to her throat,
Nevertheless, the gaff rigged, v-cut look
Suggested a bowsprit, a thrust of wood
Out front to prove
The force embosomed
In a jib.

Blossoming, I would imagine, above the bowsprit..


Well done!

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Kind Sir, thou brings the harvest of floral and sometimes forgotten words closer now, and once again I breathe a sigh. Thank you. ~Shalom
