| Venus and the Sailor, 1925, by Salvador Dali |
Venus
Seduction
arises from the sea
upon gilded oyster shells
rides waves of royal purple,
answering many a sailors' prayers.

This is for THE MAG #135 - check out all the amazing poets! (weekly photo prompt is at the top). This is a poem I reworked and I think I like it better. Thanks, Tess, for the weekly challenge.

But everything comes with a price. Next week there'll be different prayers, me thinks.
