AprPAD Day 9 An Ekphrastic Poem




SHE

Innocent
Naive and carefree
Until he
Fluttering
Shot an arrow through her heart
Tempting her to love.


Caren E. Salas







Painting: 'Young Girl Defending Herself Against Eros" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau
This has been my favorite painting ever since the first time I saw it many years ago at the Getty Museum (which is now the Getty Villa). It now is exhibited in the newer Getty Center. I have visited it there and look forward to when I will be able to go again.
