Pop Art

She settled in damask,
Peeling off the wallpaper,
In a sultry move,
That can only be likened
To the subtly motion,
Of lichen or Lichtenstein.

She pouted in vermillion,
Through layers of cracked veneer,
That exposed her as
Desperate to be likened.
Her smile, an experimental notion,
Of pop art and bubble gum.

Well I finally wrote something I don't *hate* but I
don't love it either. Bit of nonsense. Mostly its just
pretty words comparing fashion photography to pop
art. As its me though I put in a tiny bit of the good
old angst, its not really meant to be angst, it was
just supposed to be realism.

A reminder that it takes a lot of emotional and physical
make up to be perfect for that moment. God, models
work hard! But I think the second verse came off too
harsh and condoning the model as quite 'desperate'
so I might change that word to soften it.

Inspired by the ever gorgeous *miss-mosh in
this photograph. So go look at it!

Agree on the play of the words.

Very pretty words expertly employed, did you mean 'likened'? or liked?

Wittily done, albeit with undercurrents which suggest it's wrong to find this witty (given how the model fears to be liked - though she shouldn't have to, she should just be liked as herself).

This is great. Your best, in my opinion. But congratulations on this. :)
