The Love Goddess
We were told the love goddess was an object of beauty.
My friends and I were skeptical.
The square bust thing didn’t do anything for us. Most of us squirmed at the thought.
That and the serene face was something none of us had any idea about.
We were far to conceited and self indulgent to consider such thing.
Though the idea she was a love goddess intrigued us.
Maybe we said she is meant to be so beautiful, in that Buddhist way of exuding beauty. Therefore she doesn’t need arms they’d just get in the way.
That idea we thought was just stupid, come on who doesn’t need arms?
How would you…and Mary stopped remembering our pledge to each other to behave on the excursion, this time at least.

Lots of mystery regarding the characters behind your words. We’d like to know more.
I was wondering where ‘she’ came from.
Hmmmm….good question…..maybe in the next 100 words we find out?
That would be a challenge wouldn’t it, write the next 100 words. Intriguing. Thanks Gabriella for your comment.
Terrific stuff, so much left unsaid,
AnElephant’s tiny brain boggles.
Loved it.
Wow, I can imagine a boggling elephant brain must be a sight to behold. Thank you for your praising comment. My evening is improving.
This criticizing beauty feels right to me, of friends reacting to a figure posed as a “love goddess” — which is a high standard to meet!
Exactly. Thank you for your comment.
How fun, really, how fun! Most enjoyable read! 🙂
As you have read a few pieces by me of late you will understand that I just love the opportunity to be a tad naughty. Thank you Penny for your comment.
