Challenge: The perfect ten.

[OT]

long for agreeably overlapped limbs
after a long no napping nap

 

[echoes_s]

heartbeat hushed
blow
kisses
tinged
scarlet red
seductive
slow

 

[alonelygal]

slow
deep
breath
in
out
draw
peace
banish
evil
thoughts

 

[echoes_s]

Quebecois sugar shack
maple syrup everything
even on pigs' ears.

Mountain lodge
leaves avalanche
gardening frozen land

 

[echoes_s]

Past season's treats
remembered
Beaver tails
cinnamon sweet,
hot chocolate.

scattering ice
skater falls
immersed in delight

 

[minsue]

waiting for you


make me real
make me whole


please

First sip
fingers curl
like steam
first swallow
godlike



(thank you person from whom I stole this poem, lol)

ahhhh
first sip indeed...

god as coffee.

Love breathes life
into dying spirit
like bellows to fire.

Upon a large hill
One old tree stood
Silently proud.

On the spire
a rusty rooster
goes round and round.


Words come and go
A picture lasts longer
Memories forever.

 

[Angeline]

ahhhh
first sip indeed...

god as coffee.

trinity paradigm
you brew
we drink
ahhhhhh
we got religion!

How may words
Does it take
To get it right?

 

[minsue]

How may words
Does it take
To get it right?

Ten, I think.
I'm not sure.
Wait... yes! It's ten.

 

[The_Fool]

Do words bend and break
Or is that just feelings


How literate and literal
Do I have to be today


Are there phrases
You cherish
That say all
To you


What words would you share
to say succinctly “I care”


I had a vision
That was lost
When I blinked


Say of me what you will
Except
“He doesn’t care”


Fortune never rises
For those that
Hoard emotions
Like gold


I am festive
Can’t you see the smile
Behind tears?


I remember your kiss.
I remember you fragrance.
But why?


You took indifference
For hate
You are not worth it

 

[minsue]

why do we wait

for them to validate

our existence


Darn it...i so didn't mean to rhyme...its just so against my nature, generally...

minsue, i hope you don't mind...

Not them, just her.
Existence is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't mind in the least! I'm just babbling here...

lying in the stark white snow...
a crushed red rose

 

[Guest]

Suddenly
they're there
stately grey ghosts,
dawn statues.
The herons

 

[minsue]

my meaning, dear

was your awaited

and mine

thus

them


Babble away, sweetie...it stands out less when i do it, if i don't do it alone...

just once, I'd like to interpret words as they're intended.

arousing nipples
catching attention

NOW!

limited touch
fingertip
tracing
skimming
sparking
stimulating
trails of tingles

obvious desire
eyes
expressions
breathing
reaching
joining
clutching
release
satisfaction

extended absence of intimate touch
not good for the soul

honeyed blush
desire too sweet
need a little pain
