Mama Zen has posted a challenge for Words Count at Real Toads today that is designed to make us climb out of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves with a type of poetry that forces us to squirm and shift uncomfortably and give us a headache as we stare at the blank piece of paper cursing this task. After last month’s interview when I shared that the whole idea of sappy sexy romantic love poetry just makes me loopy, I didn’t see any way to avoid it in this task. Thank goodness, it was to be no more than 75 words. I’m also sharing this at D’Verse Poets open link.
***
warm lips pressed eagerly to mine
prelude to igniting passion
fingers dancing a secret rhythm
to the beat of joined hearts
a feasting fugue of flesh
devouring salty sweaty skin
limbs tangled, entwined
sighs and moans our only song
climax rising in frenetic crescendo
exhausted and complete
nice…i like the finger dance…nice quick sensuality in this…
thanks for dropping it in OpenLinkNight @ dverse as well
Can’t beat a line like this: ‘a feasting fugue of flesh’!
Love the musical references… dance, fugue. Like you, I am not a regular writer of erotica. You do it well, however. You do it well.
Sensual piece. Lovely
Okay, don’t get mad, but this left me laughing delightedly. There are people who write this sort of stuff and take themselves very seriously doing it. Onward with the purple prose!
Seriously I’d rather take a beating than write this stuff.
er…poetry!
whoa, well done you, wonderfully erotic
Sorry…….I’m only laughing because I know you………..
Deep……….
Hmmm. Duets are my favorite.
Well now, methinks you are very good at this type of poem……..you actually reminded me that this side of life exists. I had comfortably forgotten. Hee hee.
Teresa, I feel for you. This really did feel like it was torn out of you against your will. But it also made me laugh a bit, too, because it seemed sooo torrid, yet like the girls on the 900 sex lines, you were probably really thinking about feeding your goats, or alphabetizing your spices. Still, it was a heroic effort, and I applaud you for kicking yourself out of your comfort zone.
Very descriptive and full of passion and peace at the end
I tend to write sensually in this blog so I say this was quite a departure from your usual writing ~ Much enjoyed this side of you ~ Smiles ~
Is it hot in here or is it just your words…
Love how you handled the challenge…
My dear … better you than me. (loved it)
“a feasting fugue of flesh”
That is just too cool.
I love this symphony of passion!
Well done
Very well done!
LOVE this. Soft, sensual, sexy, delicious. There’s always room for romance in my world! Lovely. Amy
