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).

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