Her Beauty Poem by Glen Kappy
Her Beauty
Her beauty
like the model castle—
its unstained wood inside.
This conveys the appeal of a woman who is regal but doews not show off her charms. // Unstained wood can be beautiful. For a paean to the beauty of wood grain, I invite you to read my poem MAN CUT IN WOOD on PoemHunter.// I saw wood grain displayed beautifully in the Kurama Shinto Shrine, which has an altar made from varieties of wood fitted together. There is no sacred image behind the altar, just panels of wood.
hey, denis! thank you for reading this and commenting. though not an expert in woods, i've admired the grains and colors of woods. i'll check your poem out. -glen

Short and succinct. Nice modern haiku. Liked the unstained grains over there 10/10
thank for reading and commenting on this, kesav. i rediscovered this piece recently, liked it and posted it, but i confess i don't remember the woman who prompted it nor what i intended with the simile. -glen
