Image Versus Imagery
I might recite beloved classics,
quote prolific essayists
reiterate philosophers
or conjure lavish adjectives
to verbalize your love and grace
or versify your perfect face
or set those thousand words aside
and let your photographs confide
what works of art succinctly say
within a glimpse, without delay
then leave mere phrase for lesser things
because your beauty truly sings.
