Analysis of String Bikini



The bikini that she wore left contours on parade.
One string pulled for a soft core
with everything displayed.
The bikini that she wore left silhouettes exposed.
One string pulled for a soft core
with everything disclosed.

The bikini that she wore left shapeliness robust.
One string pulled for a soft core
with everything august.
The bikini that she wore left curvature a scene.
One string pulled for a soft core
with everything between.

The bikini that she wore left outlines fully traced.
One string pulled for a soft core
with everything embraced.
The bikini that she wore left little to declare.
One string pulled for a soft core
with everything laid bare.
