84. BEAUTY COMPARED WITH FLOWER

So hot the day, so delightful the shade,

The trickling stream in which she laid

Mountain waters cold with celestial powers

Amidst a field of soft red flowers

North of Pianosa in Colorado

Antoinette in mountain meadow

So critical of themselves the way they see,

These beautiful sisters when they talk to me,

Like Toni who thought her breasts were too small

For anyone to want to photograph her nude at all I laughed!

Her point was moot

This photo was the best one of the shoot

Breast or flower -- which is more fine?

Which would go better with red red wine?

Which bears best lovely shadows of youth in its prime?

Which holds best the heart to a rhyme?

The maiden wins, though the flower is great

I wouldn't want to suck the flower on a date
