Audrey Hepburn - Pop-Art 2 by ~davidiana on deviantART
Four-part Audreys
Black gamin Audrey:
No crown this queen,
with wisps of bangs
curling above black
perfect arches accenting
blue animal eyes lashed
above cheekbones high
lighted near shapely
large ear with
onyx ring dangling
opposite turned up
nose above full
royal red kisser.
Then gentle jaw
leading stretch of
deer long neck.
Leaning forward:
a head of its time.
Graced below by
the little black dress.
Repeat, repeat, repeat:
Purple gamin Audrey,
Red gamin Audrey,
White gamin Audrey--
queens with crowns
of black pixie hair.
Arrange in squares:
black beside purple
atop red beside white.
Four-part Audreys in
mute perfect harmony.

I offer this for Poetics at dVerse, hosted this week by liv2write2day, whose fascinating and instructional prompt about POP ART will undoubtedly generate some amazing works of poetic art! I elected to try writing "an ekphrasis using a work of pop art," from her list of ideas (I will be honest and tell you that I had to look up ekphrasis to be sure what it was).
I am still catching up on reading poems from last week's Poetics prompt at dVerse. I am also behind in reading others' Magpies and Flash Fiction 55s from last week. This frustrates me no end and I will do my best to at least visit those of you who have been kind enough to leave much-appreciated comments after my posts for those three prompt-driven delights.
***(I may not even be here until I post my regular Old Postcard Wednesday in order to enjoy reading other blogs!)***
