A DRAPE OF GRACE : POEM BY WILLIAMSJI MAVELI

White, a canvas, soft and deep,
Where zebra lines, their secrets keep.
A flash of dark, a streak of light,
Against her skin, a shining sight.

A beauty queen, with poise untold,
In silken wraps, a story scrolled.
The fabric kissed, her gentle form,
A whispered wish, a rising storm.

The zebra's dance, a bold design,
On ivory fields, a light divine.
I liked the cloth, its texture fine,
She liked the way, it made her shine.
