X marks the spot
pen and ink drawn outlines on the naked
an artful coupling veiled in hottest red
was it just a bare wall begging for paint pot
spare street canvas of passionate position
or maybe some directive in its juxtaposition?
not necessarily a foul aimed shot
disgusting dig at the disabled - but a kind of elevation
wheelchair bound for a rooftop garden
Mature message and an ekphrastic for this week’s poetics: And the sign said..
PoetryPix 
Everyone should do that at least once before they have need of the lift! And hey, why not after, too? Very fun tie-in to this photo!
do not normally go this far with my poems (!) but the juxtaposing struck a chord
It worked for me!
I hope there is such passion for everyone… and why not a bit before (or instead of) taking the lift.
Passion can give us a lift too
So enjoyed this, Laura. The double entendre and the fact that this sign is directional for the queen’s garden. Subtle irony.
Thank you Victoria for picking up on its light hearted puns
I like this play on ‘lift’. A layered poem.
A kind of elevation!
Wow! A steamy one. I enjoyed all of your interpretations of this unusual sign.
And I enjoyed your theme Mish
Now that’s a way to get a “lift” before taking the “lift!” Love this take on the prompt.
We will be in Valparaiso, Chile next January and I am so excited to see all the street art there. I suspect it will be an amazing poetic muse 🙂
Look forward to yours next poetic muse then Lilian
Ah, the irony of the juxtaposition. Who could escape the humor? Thanks for sharing!
glad you appreciated the humour Beverly – had momentary doubts about suitability!
I was staring at the picture and I just noticed the “X” in it. It might not fit such an elevator, but maybe it will amuse those riding in it.
took me a while to spot the x and gave me the first line and the lift followed on from there
I enjoyed this one, Laura! Beautifully done!❤️
