Magpie Tales 150...Inevitable

 
image by Daniel Murtagh


Invincible in her beauty and youth

She has caused such a ripple

With that flash of taut nipple

Too soon to know gravity’s truth
 
I love the image for this week's Magpie Tales prompt.   It's ethereal and mysterious...and just about impossible to ignore the focal point--and no, I don't mean her face, (though she's lovely).

      Thank you...though I might have been just a wee bit jealous when I wrote this. ;D

      Thank you.

      Small consolation: gravity gets us all...eventually.

    Oh, now that's not nice. Gravity has no respect! :-)

      The older I get, the more I wish I'd spent time standing on my head... ;D

      Totally, no exceptions, though as I said above: small consolation.
