GEORGE HELD:
Your bra & panties
hanging on the door—
Do Not Disturb
George Held is a poet and a retired English professor from New York City. He wrote this haiku after seeing Saul Leiter’s erotic photograph above on Blogfinger. George has contributed many poems to Blogfinger.
Saul Leiter was a pioneer in color photography, mostly for fashion magazines, but he also took thousands of black and white images of nudes in his New York apartment. You might say that he was an aficionado of naked women.
Of course his artist’s eye found secret imagery.
Leiter, a life-long New York artist, died in 2013. This photograph above is from the cover of a book which he published of nudes called In My Room.
