I smile to cover my shame but it's hard standing, statue still, semi-naked before the crowds, who ogle me with lust in their eyes. Everyday from nine to five I do this. It's embarrassing.1
Michelangelo you had no right to portray me this way!2

I like this alot Kethry. I look forward to hearing if it was accepted or not.

Oh my Kethry, you have captured the ‘image on the Internet problem’ with your gallery view of the admirers. They say if am image is on the Internet, it can never be destroyed; someone somewhere will have a copy on a computer. – Well done I hope you are selected, you deserve no less. And thank you.

Trully heartfelt write of the stone by a sensitive poet.beyond imagination....beauty of the write is more powerful than the art of Michelangelo..it is really a thought provoking and a great write.thanks for sharing ..
-
It was an interesting read but I would have personally liked to see a little more description. I never thought about the art work from its own perspective before either. Great and definately insightful write.
-
Excellent
I think I read it... Very good. Short Story alright. I like how you potray yourself as a statue. Nice. -
Ah I have so never thought of that. Interesting how other people see things and how you as a person can learn from it. Take Care, Catressa

Poor David. He tries so hard to be a nice guy, but all his efforts are in vain, as folks around him only see the physical.
Nicely done. I love it when people take something ordinary (well, relatively ordinary) and approach it from a completely different angle. -
Definitely gives new meaning to the phrase "short story". Kinda cool. Different. I like it!
-
This is excellent! What a wonderful "short story," and how truly perfect that you have stunned your readers. I guess my mind was elsewhere. LOL
Hugs, Patricia
