  Images in Black*

  silky black legs shimmer
as she stands
he beckons the waiter

ebony black Cornish Rex
sits on the newspaper
her back to you

velvet black sky reveals
a pale thin moon
jealous the stars stare

ugly black despair
tortures his soul
empty without her

The many colors of black, whose images delight the senses, stirs the heart and causes fear untold. I loved this!

I think you've covered it all, Allie, this dark theme, from sex to sorrow... A wonderful piece, this, pristine in this succinct form. Now to Frank's poem! Oh, and I will smack Jerry for you if e'er we meet! ! ! heehee Esther : ]
