Cleo

By Mother CombsPublished about a year ago โ€ข 1 min read

A graceful beauty among her peers

๐ŸŒž

A Tiger Lotus of the Nile

๐ŸŒž

Stately postured gliding along the avenue

๐ŸŒž

Gorgeous silhouette against a river view

๐ŸŒž

Wisdom shines in her dark eyes

๐ŸŒž

A Queen in her own time

๐ŸŒž

Dressed in a white linen sheath

๐ŸŒž

Eyes decorated with a heavy kohl

๐ŸŒž

With jeweled armbands on her arms

๐ŸŒž

To match the royal headdress worn

๐ŸŒž

With a cobra on her crown

๐ŸŒž

Her long black hair in beads

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Much shorter than the movie. You still get the feel of it from your wonderful words without four hours going down the drain. I joke. The film has its moments. Have you seen it back in the day?
