Shades Of Meaning

Her desirability increases,

yet – drowning in shades

as light dwindles shadowing

her deep, seductive nature,

 

body shifting – as if moonlight takes

this intense...mysterious slender form.

“I'm here!” She declares, reposed with

slender arms seducing you with passion.

 

This woman is the silent model, her whispering

thoughts seem to fraternize with artists; gesturing

almost with promiscuity – maybe I'm wrong and

she's an academic, a struggling student of the arts.

I've seen that picture before. Not sure where. We're all struggling students of the arts.

Yes, a fine line between modelling and seducing, or troubling, and sometimes dangers need to be avoided.

The play of light and shade is very stimulating for artists, whatever the subject. Rhiannon

I like the double play on words here. I think this is one of the stock images on the site isn't it ?(I've also seen it used quite often) Very useful for the IP!

Hi Jack,

the picture is a stock image which I hope is okay to use. I looked at it and immediately had this image of two different characters in my mind.

Thank you for reading and leaving a comment.

Thank you for reading and leaving a comment Rhiannon. I was so fascinated by the picture, which as you say has two different sides to it. How the shadows cast a darkness over the woman, yet if you look deeper there's just a girl who has just posed and been placed in that position by the artist.

I've posed in the nude myself many, many years ago, so I know how an artist uses light and posure to get the scene he's looking for.

Glad you liked and again many thanks for letting me know.

Jenny.

Hi there insert,

you got exactly what I was trying to portray, which was a play on shade and light. When I saw the picture I thought it represented the I P perfectly.

I do hope it was okay to use the stock image. Many thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Jenny.

I love it where it turns at the end to say, 'maybe I'm wrong'. Sometimes we look at somebody and in seconds we've invented our own character.

What a great comment Jane. Yes you're right that you can't always judge a book by its covers.

Glad you liked this poem, and I'm so grateful you let me know.

Thank you.

Jenny.
