Isabella,

the corn has ripened.

See here, she is green & rough

to the touch

She has thrown out a camouflage

of dull brown strands

When we open her,

there is the plump gold

of edible flesh

there is the silken softness

of her true hair

Isabella, these are the secrets

that shy women share.

reminds me of the phrase, "still waters run deep"
nicely written and I like the use of corn as an analogy.....very nicely written

Most expressive & impressive.
Love the closing lines.

True! and it's about time someone noticed. I love the use of the corn to get your point across. I would have never thought of it, but I'm not sure I'll look at corn the same again!!!!

[Kelly Scheppers]
