Pretty Ladies in the Poem Centerfold, by Ada Limon
Recently, I have read a very intriguing poem. It is called “Centerfold” and is written by Ada Limón.While reading it,I could not stop thinking thatthis poem can be about every teenager. They look at pretty ladies in the magazines imagining that one day they would meet or become gorgeous ladies with velvet skin and perfect smile. In spite of being children, they could not but mention the perfection of women’s bodies…
The same situation is described in the poem “Centerfold”. The children are hiding in the corner of the barn and are staring at the women in the magazines. The word “giantesses” is used to describe those women. Therefore, such pictures are printed in large sizes and placed in the middle of the magazine pages. This helps contemplate every detail of the picture.
Nothing can be hidden from the inquisitive eyes.
The girl described in the poem is staring at the centerfold models. Each body curve awakes the emotions that are new for her. I suppose that this is how the sexuality emerges. Do you agree with me?
Naked bodies provoke the curiosity in everybody, especially, in teenagers. After staring at such pictures, one could not stop thinking about them. The same feelings appear in the girl from the poem. She starts to imagine that it could be her in the picture. She thinks how exciting it would be to be naked and dance…The girl wants to have the same hair that will pile around her shoulders. She wishes her body were also perfect.
I understand her desires. Emerging sexuality is a part of the normal childhood development. Looking at such pictures promotes sexual identity. The girl is staring at the pictures and sees attractive appearance. She wants to look like those pretty ladies. Therefore, if she looked like them, she would wake in everybody the same feelings of admire. The woman that is dancing is her idol.
In our age, we are looking for example that can be followed. We all are trying to find our ways in life. However, there are so
