Her soul may have been divine, but, still, I'd make her body mine. But it's just that " Bulgarian-made" is one kind of gal I've never....laid. " Laid" aka may not be allowed ...........by PH censors; I'll be not cowed. bri :) " Sofia is Bulgaria's capital and its largest city." :) :)

You are clever enough to represent this brilliant poem. Body made in Bulgaria is Divine. I have heard that a humanoid robot is made who expresses emotions like human beings. The name of this robot matches to the title of this poem. This is really very amazing...10

Thank you so much, Kumarmani. Seeing Sofia as a robot gives me another layer of meaning.

I don't know why but I interpreted the name to the Jungian archetype Sophia, that is the feminine aspect of god and true wisdom, of course reading the poem produces pieces to a different puzzle.

Thank you so much, Kevin. I think that's a great interpretation, and perhaps wisdom is tied to those puzzle pieces that define the mind and body.

Oh! I mistook her as Sophia Loren but she was born in Italy. Enjoyed Sofia by M.J. Lemon, as well.

Reminds me of the love doll in an episode of MASH. And your response to Soul's comment reminds me of Sylvia's Mother by Dr. Hook. All that aside, the poem can also be a serious one. And quite profound! Another winner, M.J.! Keep them coming.

Richard, As always, thank you so much for your support and insight. Yes, that episode of MASH. I did not have that in mind at all, but you just gave me a twist on an interpretation of the poem. Again, thank you.
