Woodward - Newman

Lovers
Gently caressing
As though
The other
Might break
Holding
Heads carefully
So tenderly
Yet hesitant
Embryonic
First
Taste of love
Torsos curved
Totally at one
United
Exquisite
Body formation
A zigzag
Future cracks
Unseen

In the case of Newman and Woodward were there any cracks?
ReplyDeleteInteresting that your take was so very different than mine. Married vs single?
Wow embryonic - you are spot on with that one!
ReplyDeleteLovely poem, Bee. Captures the essence of the image nicely.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely that Paul and Joanne didn't have cracks in their long marriage, we should all be that fortunate. It takes work to make a good marriage.
ReplyDeleteA very gentle take on this weeks prompt
ReplyDeleteLove this! Hopefully, the cracks can be spackled over : )
ReplyDeleteI wrote about the unity in the pose too. Nice take on the Magpie prompt.
ReplyDelete'Future cracks unseen'...oh the innocence of first love. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the frailty and tenderness this poem conjures up!

Thank you everyone.
ReplyDeleteI really didn't want to say it but it has been said that the marriage wasn't all it was 'cracked' up to be! But then again, which marriage is?
