Oriental memories

 

Italian Sestet

 

Fluttering like butterflies Geisha girls.

Trying to attract the rich men’s eyes.

Professional and well trained courtesans.

Beaming smiles reveal teeth that shine like black pearls.

Which to western eyes comes as a surprise

 most will not appreciate but I can.

Ability to appreciate things…that others cant appreciate is a sign of greatness….
Kudos…

I'm just not comfortable with 'Black pearls'.. I know you are trying to say that they are 'dark'.. But I don't know, when I read the lines, I can only imagine black tooth for the Geisha girls, lol.

"Which to western eyes comes as a surprise
most will not appreciate but I can."

Haha. I don't know much about them.. But I've heard they dance elegantly.. :)

A feel-good poem. This completely relaxed me :)

Keep writing.
