Erte’s Abstraction

Erte’ women in slinky black mauve scarves ‘cross porcelain throats femmes adorn pinstriped arms of Valentino men    white linen cloths tabled by  jasmine scented water bowls host gilded ringed napkins  whose elegant luster pales  to hydrangeas mingled   amidst swooning ferns   ported crystalline goblets punctuate  sumptuous entrees quiche lays in attendance to coral  shelled crab legs scattered on spinach  beds held by silver charger caddies   Captain Black clouds  swirl Chanel scents  Moonlight Serenade whispers   softly to lit candles flickering flicker, flick, illusion’s  dance begins

Wow. Very excellent construction. Like a poetic snowflake made completely of memories. The images are just that delicately written. As your reader I felt so invited,guided to be part of the dance. All in all an beautiful write.

Simply beautiful Lora, You always manage to perfect your imagery that pulls the reader in to the moment and essence of each poem you write - It's dreamlike but at the same time realistic because there are some so fortunate to engage this way - The tone is pure passion yet delicate as well - Love this - on my list, blessings, Deni
