Illustrating you

[Liar]

So, since I can't seem to get much poetry out of me, I thought I'd try something else. Let me illustrate a poem of yours.

Write me a little something (preferrably pretty short), post it here, and I'll see if I can wreak havoc on it with illustrations, photos and graphic design.

I'm not up for writing anything, but if you want to borrow any photos, you are more than welcome. I have over a thousand nature pics at the moment and you are free to use any of them.

"Can't seem to get much poetry out of me," hmmm? What the hell do you call this Mr. Smart Ass? That ain't advertising copy there.

But since your cleverness on that thread has caused my poetic, um, "muse" to wilt as regards SR's challenge, here's something you're welcome to try and use:

Supermodel

Down the runway she struts—
all razorblade cheekbones
and a crossover step
Michael Jordan would love.

Hips sway, hips swing.
Hips positively sing.

So how does a cat walk?

Just tap tap tap tap tap
through envy,
through envy.​

Or, if any of my "perfect 10" poems are more to your liking, feel free to use any o' them. Or if you want this tweaked in some way, let me know. I'm still in rewrite mode.

Interesting idea, this thread.

Oh man. That is excellent, dude!

Of course, I've been rewriting the poem underneath you. Slap hands, slap hands. Sorry about that. That looks like pretty close to the original version and looks fabulous.

Aren't you supposed to be asleep or something?

Thanks for making me look like I know what I'm doing.

Oh and, um, nice shoe.

Very cool both of you! I did not make out the background pictures until my eyes refocused.... very subliminal.

why not? we were just commenting on how many men in this forum have their fingers on the zipper but never pull it down

your av is very um.... healthy

 

[bluerains]

I was playing with this

tonite we drink from the fruit of the vine
their liquor
drips from pink blossoms
sticky moist
slow roasted in
peach wine
oozing from periwinkle kisses
soaked in syrupy sweetness
of orange bud honey
while
mounds ripple in
heated raw nectar
after the flutter of fey
dip into pink folds
of drunken honey combs

and you may see what you can do

*chuckle*

Because they weren't well recieved at the Author's Hangout, so now only use those kinds of AVs in Am pics thread and Playground.

Is that last line a part of the poem? If not, it could be.

 

[bluerains]

not part yet...

Knowing some models I will take off on this, more in tune with what a model feels than one looking ... haphazardly of course, on the basis of whom I know:

Girl on a hanger, hung
not like a cock
meat ... both
do you see it too?

On point for the rich
and the perverts
look at my photograph
I am for you

both

look at me for you
what I can give
what I can charm
for you?

Never for me?
Really.
For you.

Thanks for the pay cheque.

Short and dumb, but ... I have some really cool art photos when I did some Art Direction, Liar, that might inspire you to write more than illustrate?

 

[SeattleRain]

you still on the prowl for poems?

 

[champagne1982]

LOL!

 

[average gina]

Oooohhhh! Liar, those are gorgeous! I would like to see what you would do to a few of mine like After Dinner, Sear, A View on Nothing, or Who Anger Does, but I think, with the exception of the last one, they are too long for what you are doing. I'd love to see what you can do with this one. If it's too long, I'll understand.

Beautiful work, Liar.


The Last Place
by average gina ©

touch me
in a way
I have not felt
through skin
to spirit

yes

there

the last place
not consumed
by your soul

relieved
knowing
that together
we will always
fly

I do have to mention that the line, "touch me in a way I have not felt" came from CremeBrule's Be A Man and the line "knowing that together we will always fly" came from champagnes1982's My Heart's Prayer based on a challenged that happened in November, 2004.
