Verse First ~ Body

Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.

Today's notion?

BODY

Body... What are we talking about here? Could be a variety of things. Could be a human being, a person, or just the trunk or torso of said person. A body can also be a group of people organized for the same purpose, like a legislative or religious body. Or, it could be a corpse. (Yikes!)

Body also refers to a mass distinct from other masses, like a body of water; or similarly, it can identify a collection distinct from others, like a writer's body of work.

Body can refer to the main, central, or principal part of  a given object, such as the nave of a church, the enclosed part of a vehicle, or the sound box of a musical instrument. That leads us to another meaning: The fullness or resonance of a musical tone.

Then there are the culinary references. Body refers to the richness and flavor of tasty dishes and fine wines, and can also imply denseness, fullness, or firmness of texture.

So many possibilities! Body. What do you think?
