'New Poems' review
for Saturday 26, 2005

watching the world through stained glass
then writing our minds wirl into words
like a plum tree filled with blossoms
a collection of poems that flower when open
each add to the beauty of the massive whole
this I got from todays journey to Lits new poems
thanks to all and here are a few ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terrible Two's by
Boxlicker101

clip~People who drop by are fair game for me,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Cute, and clever 'View' point~
perhaps there is a reason we generally
do not remember being two years old <grin>
Give Boxlickers Poem a 'lick' and smile!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Perspective Shift by Liar

clip~
Wake up, rise breathless, breathe
It's a beautiful day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
This Illustrated poem 'Perspective Shift'
is a beautiful literary Art, picture perfect,
with the witty and poetic nature of 'Liar'
intertwined in this poem and pic classic!
Pronounced lines in shade of realism
gives the reader 'liars' perspective with a
shift in poetry to awaken the sleeper and reader <grin>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dedication to Moms by Satin and Lace

clip~
I know I am my mother's wishes
I have but to look at her to see me
We speak without words
We sit in silence...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
The bond of a mother is as strong as a
tornado and as gentle as a breeze, <grin>
a very nice dedication to Moms, the years
of love in a nut shell of words, a very nice
write and a touching poem.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Simoom by Whispermuse

clip~
In shadow-less space
existence defined
in a traveled breath
as I choke on miles
longing for fresh air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
witty wording in a very nice and well
thought out poem~ In this whisper alone
I heard my muse <grinin'> some gripping
lines lay in the trail of words that create
the journey from this poem~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tonight on KILU by neonurotic


clip~
Perception
is sucked into a black hole,
trapping us in a vacum.

Everything narrows to a pinpoint
flashes to black, but still hums
static charged, collecting dust.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
The wit meister whips a mental wordy brew <grin>
The sum total of 'Black outs and Black holes in the mind
<grin> is instilled in this cleverly written poem
by neo~ This poem could and very well may
describe exactly what people see and feel before
they wake up in a hospital and say "what happen"
just another episode of KILU~ <GRIN>

Sunday Reviews

Okay all spring is trying its best to breathe some life into our realms... birth and cycles are the evolution theme... on that note.. I go to read..

enjoy some Goddess Art.. then some wonderful poetry...

http://www.lavenderlibrary.org/gallery/Artists1/images/Elliott/Spring_Goddess(16X20).jpg

My first selection today is....

Ménage à Trois (Alone in a Hotel at fflow

I really enjoyed the originality of this work:
quote:
As their headboard
bangs a jumbled tattoo,
I join them, gasping
like a hooked carp at our shared
moment of completion

Just what I love a writer seeks out to describe the ordinary in an original and extra ordinary vision...use of some great rhetorical weaving!

Speaking of Time out.... my next pic is a delicious twist of this over used phrase...

Time Out My Erotic Tale

The first line brings so many thoughts to my mind... a child in need of discipline, strategical methods in sports for winning the game, and an all out retreat from reality. A great first stanza that builds. Like Eve I feel some tweaking is needed for I believe the poet can use more original descriptions..."pools" etc. but over all a wonderful read, variations in rhythm and speeds... stop and go that feels like a heart beat....
Du~

We spring forward an hour on this day and lose track of where we are....

I do not remember where we are SeattleRain

Nice work here.. very visual and enticing in the lace of a dream..or is that reality?...
quote:
Answers weave a yarn
that binds us while we sleep.
In the morning, twisted braids
of spring weathered words
bud and blossom around our ankles.

So all there are the choices of my Sunday! Please read write and comment.. I have been bad as of late.. too much ADULT LIFE... YUK.. and not enough child... reading todays writes.. made me see just that.. thank you to all the writers for sharing their worlds!
Du Lac~

Overlooked?

Awoke
by champagne1982

I may have been right about the title, but, this is some of the best writing I have seen, as per usual from her.

 

[duckiesmut]

What a day for poetry (especially of the steamy variety)!

My suggestions for Monday, and as always, please feel free to jump in and suggest your own. We all see the same words differently.

South Shore Sands
by Syndra Lynn

I enjoyed the way this read before the audio. But with it, damn. So sexy.

Nasty
by The_Fool

I'm with Syndra on this one--> I enjoyed this, twice. Taut, wickedly paced, and just flat-out delicious.

silence broken
by ripping fabric
buttons tap-dancing on the floor

lunging into a kiss
elicits half-sob
yields half-moan

as hands entangle hair
bent back
exposing reluctant charms

And it only gets better. Go read!

Sergeant Bunny's Last Stand
by Angeline

He wasn't the politest stallion
in the stable, but awful handy
to have around, and when he danced
he could knock the Earth
from its axis. However briefly.

You make me wish I knew more about jazz history. I enjoyed the poem as a whole, but the section above, especially the however briefly, stands out for me. A reminder that nothing keeps the Earth off its axis for too long.

Piercing the Labia of Light
by Maria2394

The words she uses to paint her images are beautiful and unexpected.

The bold sky was taunted, became taut and bluer,
the sun quivered as if exploding,

The above section feels a bit weaker than the rest, but with some of these lines, it would be hard to match up to them.

And wisteria blossoms were amethyst charms,
unleashing a secret in wind’s burly laughter-

Goodness, I'm jealous of the stuff floating around in your brain.

Disposable Muse
by neonurotic

Less innocent images inspired
a longhand, blue-black fantasy.

If only all fuck-me daydreams were this poetic.

Kiss Assassin
by Wanton Vixxxen

I enjoyed the timing of this along with the separation of the three individual lines. The second of the three doesn't quite fit to me. I love the language of it, but not its placement in the poem.

Incredibly descriptive lines, and the very last one is poetry itself.

***
And the rest of the New Poems for your reading pleasure.

 

[Rybka]

Maybe ‘cause it’s Mud Season. . .

. . . but I enjoyed short two spring themed poems today. Maria2394’s a plea to the Goddess of Green, and Spring Dance by Omera.

Maria’s gift includes the call, “Bring on the bullfrogs and bumbles!” which resonates with anyone who endures northern winters, But I would settle for the peepers and pussy willow for now.
The second one from Omera is even shorter but neatly entrains the recurring cycle of life as embodied in spring.

If you’re tired of winter - Go catch some Green; and then - Dance while you can!

 

[Scott N. Leavitt]

Am I the only one that thinks this guy can really write. My Erotic Tale is great!!If you want leaves and stuff like that you shold really like this poem a whole lot. ZMP~ Leaves that don't fall

 

[ishtat]

Monday stuff

Evelyn Carroll's " Broadside Girl" on Monday is worth looking at .Very different to most of the work posted here. This person puts a huge amount of energy into her work and backs it with a potent brain.. She can be picked over but there's no missing the talent.

New Poem Reviews. Tue 5th April

Hello, and welcome to the new poetry review(s) for Tuesday the 5th of April 2005. The poem I feel deserving of a mention today is 'Ostara Return To Us' by Savannah Skye. Some would class this as invocation, or vaguely oracular phrasings, but it strikes me of quality poetry. Although the poem lacks a consistent meter, the meter it does possess works well, especially with the repeated refrain and the short section of rhyming couplets. Although I do not appreciate the sentiment of the poem (I feel that nature can not really be viewed as a seperate consciousness or agent unless in the context of human action) I do appreciate the work here. The author has used simple words, but used them well, in a well paced poem. In addition the inclusion of a little (perhaps unintentional) intra-line rhyme helps with the flow of the poem. A good read in my opinion.

Well, thats all from me for another week. In the meantime, get out there, read and write poetry and don't forget the main event this weekend..... The Royal Wedding....

 

[Syndra Lynn]

I had time today

to read every new poem posted, something I rarely have the opportunity to do.

The poem I feel deserving of a mention today is 'Ostara Return To Us' by Savannah Skye.

I'll second that! I loved this invocation of Spring. It is a beautiful poem, well written. i also saw some others worthy of a read if you find the time.

My Erotic Tale wrote an amusing story poem, A French Rose. Made me smile!

Sabina, one of my favorite new poets wrote a witty piece, elusive which may or may not have been aimed at poetry critics. (psst-spellcheck would have caught execpt)

a girl can love a girl is a sweet, simple, tightly written tribute to a lost love.

Pulse is filled with wonderful images.

Lauren Hynde often writes poetry above my head, but White Weapon is a lovely tribute to a wonderful poet. (as far as I can tell)

evelyn_carroll, a bright star on the Lit horizon brought us Sapphic Sally is a brilliantly written tribute to Sappho, lesbianism and poetic meter in general. Wow!

ishtat brings us a poetic view of death/murder/mortuaries. Oddly intriguing and really well written, go read Lives Streetwalks Intersect

thats it-GO READ!

Wednesday New Poem Review

Here I am, missing Jim. Nuttin' ta do but a poem review.

Jim, where are you?

Pursuing Open Sight by fuckdoll has some amazing language flowing through it. Read aloud to appreciate. This poet also throws us a lifejacket with some great phrases.

Rhythmic oceans of freeform feeling
floating in a sea of August Christmas lights:

And about the dice are loaded, Tath said it better than I can, I'll plagiarize:

Originally posted by Tathagata: Your poetry is interesting to say the least.
very beat/ jazz/ stream of conscious.
The word choices appear to be almost random at first but on a second read the meaning and images come through.

Only to forget is a first submission by sunsetbrew. This is one to keep an eye on! Wonderfully painted pictures here. I really love this bit:

as orange morsels
of sunlight jingle
unwanted memories
across a desolate horizon

The poet fathom7 leaves deepest desires Unspoken in really well written lines.

I'd like to thank Tath for his guest appearence here in my review.

And I wish you all a glorious day.

Blessings

Zen Master Rules!!

How come no one has mentioned My Erotic Tales’ poem: A French Rose 'Dueling delima'? It is so good and pure and true! Is every one obsessed with one maybe typing mistake? This is so good writing. Way better than any else of the poems posted on Literotica today!!

GO READ THIS POEM AND GIVE IT THE FIVES IT DESERVES! – MET rules!


(I am so glad my friend told me to come & read poems here. She is so right. There are so many nice writers here! - especially Zen Master Met.



PS - thank you for the e-message. You are SO beautiful!

New Poems of Thursday April 7, 2005

I counted 13 new submissions on this the first Thursday of April. I mention three and I bring you one non-erotic "spinner" from the past.

Today's golden oldie is a work from a current and frequent contributor to this forum. The poem is from July of 2004. If you enjoy it, click on the name and go read some more of the poet’s work. It took me two sessions and 14 spins to find this poem by twelveoone. I can only quote a little from the beginning because the poet makes extensive use of formatting and word placement, (YEA!! I love it!) which won’t display properly here. So you will have to click on the title and go read it (Don’t forget to vote if you didn’t last year.) Oh yeah, did I mention that it was awarded an “E" ?

'llusions

“I saw my head laughing, rolling on the ground
And now...I’m set free to find a new illusion”
-I’m Set Free, Velvet Underground

“We're off to never never land”
-Enter Sandman, Metallica

‘llusions
…the…sandman…was…easy…

Here are some of the poems I found of most interest today:

wordwytch has been a Literer for almost a month and Where’s the Glue? is her second submission. This poem is listed in the non-erotic category, but it is a love poem that asks the question, “What keeps us together when our daily worlds are so different?”
The question and examples are nicely written, and then the poet answers in what most who have had such relationships will consider a romantic voice. This poem could, like all, be tightened/tweaked a bit, but I find it a very good offering by a new contributor.

I won’t quote from it because I want you to go read it and encounter the best lines with a fresh eye.
After you read this one, go look at her other poem. It too is very readable. – Keep an aye (Sic) out for this writer. This is my favorite of the day.

******

Frivolity Clashes by sensuall is the second work that I am going to mention today. I don’t find this a ‘deep’ poem. In point, some of this poem seems like more of a dictionary/thesaurus exercise than an effort of cogency, but I like the way the words fit together and the sounds roll alliteratively off the tongue “Schloop schloop Dooby doop”. It is a quick read. Go do it.

******

My third for the day is Syndra Lynn's Feast of Flesh. This is an erotic poem about eye-candy at the mineral pools, and the poet ends it thusly:

. . .
Serenity this place bequests,
on the off chance libido rests.
But by magick of a woman's grace
I glide about with tranquil face,
erotic itch quite well concealed,
unlike the men who must reveal,
as they step from the mineral pool,
their lurid turgid lustful tool.

I could do without “doth” and “magick”, but that is just my taste. Over all it reads well. Give a look and see what you think.



Taste is always an individual thing so there may very well be other poems out there today that you will thoroughly enjoy. Go find the ones you really like on the New Poems board and then come back and tell us about them!

As always, please remember that our poets need your support, so RVCF. It won’t come back around if you don’t send it out!

Regards, Rybka

Salvage Debris

There were no comments on Friday poems so a couple of observations. Firstly, the top half of the list is with only one or two exceptions particularly strong. So it's rewarding reading most of those (as many have already done and responded).

However, Liar's " Singularity of Salvaged Debris" seems to have been a little lost down towards the bottom and I thought it was particularly interesting. It responds best to two, preferably three fairly careful reads.

 

[twelveoone]

Rybka,
Thanks for the golden oldie mention, anonamouse once told me I never put enough colour in my stuff. So I did.
Thanks Again,

'New Poems' review
for Saturday 09, 2005

I was reminded this week about an old tale of the lion and the mouse, a lion came in roaring, thrashing about screaming and raising cane in the jungle, all the animals reacted in different ways, some yelled back, some run for cover, the whole jungle was a screaming bull horn of chatters in reaction to the lions screaming ways. A perceptive little (grasshopper) noticed the lion knawing at a thorn in its paw in discomfort and quickly ran to the lion and pulled the thorn out of the lions paw, restoring harmony with a satisfied and un-annoyed king of the jungle!

((it's human nature to be defensive, but intellect and courage are the traits to solve a problem with out throwing alcohol on a lions thorn'ed paw)) <grin>
<<< verbal lashings only show your limitations >>>
What a world it would be if we were all Anti Muses~

Another Bukowski Night by RisiaSkye

clip~
I still feel
better for having
expressed even smoke and
whiskey tempered emotional
emptiness
wasted on feeling
sorry
for myself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

First on the list today~
My first thought was you probably needed to know
who the person in the title was 'bukowski' to undertand this poem, but I read this twice and found it to be slightly clever and I never heard of the person but I can relate to the poem by recalling the old wrestling with whiskey days <grin>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
passing moment by duckiesmut

clip~
fireflies trapped in jelly jars,
dancing giddy in the dark.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

I loved the natures feel to this poem and the message instilled, a very very good poem duck~
this one is a must read, it's poetic flare is a poetry icon, of course these are my own suggestions, but this poem ROCKED!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why Children Sing by Softouch911


clip~
O you, who have never been so young
let me tell you how it is
where a bad day never comes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

I almost didn't mention this poem but saw the list was small today so what the hey! I didn't understand the coralation of the title to the poem and the poem was ...poetic extrodinare? A poet with a lot more stripes on their belts than I may ravish this poem so I mentioned it, I loved the nature scene but was looking for the titles meaning, why is that? This pulled the balance of the read in some strange ways, <puzzled look>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conversation with a Freudian

Conversation With A Freudian Company by dcpoet44


clip~
today he spoke
about the voices
that used to infiltrate
the corridors of his mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

this poet is fairly new but has already shown that opening a read by him is sure to tickle or touch some bone in your body <grinin>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thought I was almost done with the poems list and a slew more come out so in the words of ARNOLD ... "I'll be back ...'

to wake by Remec


at first I was going to comment and get on
with the review then I saw the dedication:
the poem was inspired by 2 rivers, I don't know
a lot of poets as some do, but I do know that
many of us love the poetry of smithpeter ~
short and sweet poem by remec~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moonchilds Tides by wanton vixxxen


clip~
Using long, languid breast strokes to catch the first waves;
she floats in rippling currents to dream's rising tide
Then dives in the undulating sea of her craves~
nearly drowned in a tumultuous tidal wave’s ride
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

A marvelous lure into a mermaids tale/tail
and the tides unjust ways, this was awesome
I could cry for more but then some times
less is more, a pearl of a poem with perhaps
a sequel??? <grin>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Post Nietzsche Refugees

by liar


clip~
A hand and a heart,
if you are brave enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Zen master of poetry~ a very simple yet deep write
I still have a tad bit fitting the poem with the title
but as an all around read, I love the idealism that

Sunday Sunday.. reviews ...

Spring is sprunging (lol) and again the cycles of life show us what to see... I go now to read and to see what I can learn from others...

http://www.ksu.edu/ksuphoto/newwebsite/campus-scenery-large/spring-snow-Apr-97-5-Tulip-.jpg​

My first bloom to pick is..

Carry On Applebiter

A compassionate wise poem on a subject matter that usually is filled with sorrow and tears. Not a shooting star but for some reason a poem that strikes to the essence of all .. and sticks there. Nicely done.

http://natureproducts.net/Forest_Products/Convolvulaceae/evening_glory3.60.jpg

Flowering forth ....

Leaping for Home Tristesse

Befitting of a perfect autumn moment...simple and pure joy of the moment.. zen like read...

http://www.rhinelander.k12.wi.us/RHS/images/flowers.gif

budding..

Quiet Wind bluerains

So we hold on to our faith
and let go of our fear
and silence becomes
our serenity...

A thinking and feeling poem. One that asks you to stop your mind and let your soul comprehend. I myself would have broken up the first stanza into two... to slow down the rhythm. The last stanza has a quiet power to it..

http://www.thekansan.com/kapc2003/thumbnails/flowers-2079.jpg

A natural high..

A Loon's Song chezchubby1

This is a different style for this poet. While some polishing is needed the simplicity of the natural moment is serene. A nice refreshing work ...

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/galleries/prairies/images/thumbnail/prairies-torch_flower-thumb.jpg

Pink Liar
Interesting in the form and the flow of the work. When we envision pink Innocence arises.. but here you speak of the other side of innocence.. bringing together a natural balance of innocence and physicality. A good read.. and one that makes me think..and feel..

http://www.netaxs.com/~mhmyers/tn/flowers.GIF

A funeral bouquet..

Here's to Death seannelson
I love the metaphors used in this work. Tight lines are pointed and pull one into the reality of motivation. A good read..

http://www.gamehouse.com/i/jigsaw/jigsaw_flowers_40x40.gif
A must read..

Kelli O'Leary Tathagata
Errors or purposeful mistakes? A strong write that is filled with visions.. I loved this part

Kelli O'Leary,
with an "i",
was down for the weekend
with a phantom husband I never saw,
and a daffodil daughter,
whom she danced with in her murderous heels
and abrupt midnight skirt
in front of a hall full of people.

The use of the "I" is good..a wonderful metaphorical use

http://www.sunsetbeach.co.za/images/dir_fynbosup.jpg

Springing right up..

Haiku Boy evelyn_carroll

I did not even count the syllables in this ... no need to for it is HOT.. pulls you into the moment ... desire and erotic filled..

http://www.goopunch.net/freesozai/photos/cobweb_in_rain.gif
And..
ZMP~~~ when a dew drop falls.. My Erotic Tale

Prejudice arises here.. so all I can say is Art captures vividly the nature of Dew..
an excellent zen poem

Okay all.. those are some of my picks.. if you read one I did not mention and found it moving etc.. post it and let others feel and see the joys of writing..
Happy Spring..

Another one

Maybe it's just a Seattle thing, but I woke up feeling pensive as the rain on my rooftop, so I especially enjoyed this broody and moving poem, discontented by RisiaSkye

Monday's New Poems Reviews...


As always, please feel free to add whichever new poems kicked your skirt up (or...um...down, depending).

Saturday is Nice for Salmon
by Dustystar

The feelings she evokes with this are nothing short of delightful. She creates a warm, deliciously cozy atmosphere that seeps into the reader along with the words.

Orange Lady
by ishtat

This was such fun I couldn't help but mention it. I read it three times and laughed each go-around.

Women at the show ignore you, know they’re beaten, can’t compete
with a lady who has seen them off before.
But their menfolk touch you, wistful, with a longing quiet and wishful
and jealous in their reverential awe.

Great fun. Go read and enjoy.

Al - Gharb - 1
by Lauren Hynde

The poem alone would be amazing. Combined with the photograph, you should smack yourself if you don't go and read this. At least twice. Now. Shoo shoo.

The rest of the New Poems for your reading enjoyment.

Great New Poem!!!

There is a great new poem posted by an exciting up-and-coming young writer. The poem, How To Bury A Quaker delves deeply into the creative process, its challenges and rewards. The author paints with a bold linguistic and metaphorical pallet that evokes Keats, Yeats, and maybe even Yates. (Certainly not Proust, however (thank God!))

Also, it holds a special dedication to Wicked Eve!

Enjoy!
