Here's a delightfully humorous illustration of what happens when we read poetry in a literalistic way, not taking genre into account when we study the Bible. Dean & Laura have produced a cartoon of the Shulamite woman in Song of Songs, chapters 4 & 7 if we take the language literalistically. You can see the text alongside the graphic at their website. This couple obviously have a wonderful sense of humour!
