Picture Poetry

These poems were written based on pictures. I have not included the original picture links with the words. Most can stand on their own without them. To see the pictures, go to Photographic Inspiration.

Solar Waves

The sun sets bronze
on ghost-white skin.
Leave my color healthy
as my body protects
itself from the waves--
attractive in summer.

Solar waves reproduced
and packaged in a machine--
no burn from overexposure
and safer all around.
Artificial sun tans
in privacy of my own booth.
