Poems - Unclassified - Leanne's 'Skimpies'

Two bodies on show
Masculine and Feminine
Reduced to naught by 'sex'
Slim covering, for all to see

First the male (divine creation)
Contemporary Michelangelo
A work of art, muscles and anatomy
On show between gathered company

Second the female (biblical this Eve)
A Venus De Milo
With arms though
And curves, ripe body we see

Our bodies, much admired
Sometimes for play or jest
Can provoke discomfort, even deteste
For some who wish not to see

Maybe though,
Beautiful bodies provide ill show
Out of context
This Venus and Michelangelo

For 'David' wears a 'g'
And Venus sports some racey red
No artful eye to gaze
But lustful and amazed instead

Forget though,
For a moment
That context plays a part
For still, these bodies are a work of art.
