Why I'm Bad In The Sack!

Kiss Me There by Loganberry is, on the surface, a steamy hymn to the joys of receiving oral sex. She isn't afraid to ask for what she wants:

the soft flutter of butterflies gives way to the pounding of eagles wings.

No pressure there!!! Right, guys? And, when she lets

the waves of uncontrolled ecstasy pour through me, launching my being beyond the physical,

does she say 'thank you'? NO! All she wants is another one!!!

Sheesh! Kinda makes a fellah not want to try so hard.

impresses me, in a thread below, he is looking for nitpacking (sic), go and oblige.
Even better go and enjoy, he reminds me with his ability of twists, a little bit like annaswirls, WickEve. Pat Carrington (see above post) seems to like him, I like him (really not sure what that says)
He has three today
spine
which I seemed to have missed...
waterfall
well, it looks like just a good time
wooly mammoth
Starting out slowly with
"That terrible, stupid thing you did
is lodged in the past
as intractable as a wooly mammoth
Frozen beneath the tundra surface,"
building from there, to a quite unexpected ending.

Speaking of WickedEve, Coming Always Into Deadborough
One of the things I like about this, is you can read so much in it, that she probably didn't put there.
"that sign, a splinter
in my thumb."
a searing indictment of semiotics perhaps? You can do that with good poetry, read things that aren't there. And this is good poetry.

New Poems Reviews
for Saturday 07, 2005

A magestic Mountain I saw today
I see again when I close my eyes
like words of a poem
brushing stroking images in my mind.

I wish to thank all the poets and poems on the list today.
Each recieved a comment and vote <grin> I must address
that there is a sadness <for lack of a better word> to see
so many poems that have sat there for well over 24 hours
and have NO comments on them. I know the skin change
makes it more time consuming to comment and my self included
comment less, so lets support our favorite authors and also
try to read a few new poets as well, gosh I know you can't
read all the poems all the time cause I tried <grin> but a lot
of poems aren't getting any comments, where one would
raise a smile.

Illustrated Poetry
Still Pond by wildsweetone
I am partial to nature poetry
and this Illustrated poem has a captivating fell,
the font choice blended with the picture
in a couple places making it hard to flow, but then that may be
the magic of a Still Pond~

Take the plunge
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Illustrated Poetry
Al Gharb #5 by Lauren Hynde The Illustration grasps you immediately,
an anchor graveyard has a lot of poetry in it all by itself,
now the poem <grin> I gave it an all out to decifer and look up words
in the dictionary and probably spent more time reading this poem
than any poem I have ever read and this is what I get from it..,,.,..,.,.

Time errodes all things, fables, homes, things built to last are
rust and sun baked with the suns tools delicately wittlin' away
...everything <clever>. The new destine to be the old
and ancient lay dust under new that will be dust one day too.
You go read it and unlock the riddled words and come tell me
what it means <grin> but an excellent addition to a great series.
Al Gharb #5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coming always into Deadborough by wicked eve
I had to read it a couple times but finally it soaked in,
a very good poem about growing to become part of a town,
living in a small town I can relate <grin>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
wooly mammoth by mischieviousgrin has a message that mixed with the screen name
instills a view that is truely reality,<<<< three clever writes
by this author was posted today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

view your world with more than a glance
rest while watching working ants
close your eyes and hear the smell
body in serenity, while the mind yells
allow the thought ripples to subside
to mirror and blend with the outside
open your eyes to where you're going
walking into the world of a living poem ...


have a great week....Art~

 

[evelyn_carroll]

​

 

[PatCarrington]

there is probably no need to recommend a poem by wicked eve, since i would assume everyone reads every poem she posts. you certainly should.

but there are no reviews up today, and this is a must read:

spring poem

 

[Du Lac]

Sunday on Monday reviews

Hi all sorry for the delay... but when the migrane calls for my head to become a prison of pain... I have to answer... hence a day on the couch and lots of darkness and water....

so lets put Fflows theory to the test... and see what happens when we mention the reviews on the following day..........

first up.....

Peacock Kaishaku

Depth and intrigue move through this poem. I felt stillness and motion all in a breath.

One of my favorite poets has two intriguing poems submitted today. Please step into the Eve Zone and linger in the moment........

Leap Wicked Eve

Complexity within simplistic moments. The slowing of time in this work creates a vision of the subject. Twisting, turning an interesting read that makes one want to sit and just have a long discussion with the poet over coffee and cake.....

and...
Spring Poem Wicked Eve

An underlying ache........crawls under the light warm breezes of spring in this poem. This is a wonderful work. Very visual and emotional. There is a distance here, as if the poet has stopped time and float in the moment of reflection. So much green and new growth; with a hew of gray mist...

no reason for this poem,
except your absence in the spring.

exceptional...thank you for the write..

Zen Zen Zen...
ZMP~ a mountain's tear drop My Erotic Tale

Zen at its best. This poem has depth that I see rising in your works Art. I really see how the nature/human correspondence revolves in the work. Thank you for another wonderful reflection...

A new Poet joins us and I say go read...
merging Sacred Beauty

I enjoyed the subject of the work. Some really nice movements here.
RE:
I lift my head and embrace your sharp glare
It burns through the haze
Of this bullshit world
And steps through my windows

Just my thoughts but I would cut the wordiness of this work. It fades with all the stop and go... and the extra rhetoric. I would use some puncturation also to stop the reader, make them pause and reflect on the merging message.

These are just my thoughts and my likes in poetry... but I do find a strength within this work that deserves a mention in the Sunday on Monday reviews.

Another new poet has joined on boards with a smattering of her writing skills. I love to see new poets come and explore their writing skills... see what rarebreed21 has to offer with...
As Only You Can See Me rarebreed21

I enjoyed the essence of this work. There is a soft desire that burns in the rhetoric. Emotional qualities of this work could be brought forth more with a breaking into stanzas. Pause, reflection... and then a jump into the next line. Visually it needs the breaks... to see the hidden sighs within the breath of the poem.

A rainbow emerges..
Colours bogusbrig
This work is a delight to the senses...the formation keeps on focused and the colorful rhetoric fills the visual horizon. Emotional qualities dance..
loved the last stanza:
I hold up a prism
Highlighting on my wall
To my astonishment
A woman in the colours of the rainbow
I have yet to meet
But met sometime ago.

Okay all there you go.. there are a ton of new poems out there so lets try and take time to comment on one or two ... if we all try and do this at least once a week it will help all the writers here on the boards...
have a great week
Du Lac~

Monday's reviews...

The Forgiving
by Tathagata

The combination of incredible descriptive imagery and its almost-narrative feel make this a must-read. The path this poem takes ends with a sense of quiet, forgiving completion. The simple 'yes' offers more in value than a hundred words could have at the end.

Among shrapnel promises,
this ruinous wonderland,
now sulfur, now malignant,
where once hands were clasped
and oaths sworn
bare,since leave was taken
bare,
since love was taken.

third dip and swallow
by annaswirls

he dances with words
as if they were life long partners
anticipating moves with a quick
surprise thrown in.

The layers in this are incredible. I love the starting comparison of writing to dancing, but it's further along in the poem that is insanely delicious. The third and fourth sections are so good, and so bizarre, that you need to go read this. Right now.

fatwa
by Kaishaku

The bare-boned simplicity of the expressed moment is lovely. That said, it nagged at me that I didn't know the definition of 'fatwa'. A google later, I came up with 'a ruling on a point of Islamic law that is given by a recognized authority'.

Help, please, K.

flea market, mother's day
by mischievousgrin

This is speedy read, written in a way that seems to pull your eye downward to the last three lines that slow the rhythm to a thoughtful end.

And the rest of the New Poems for your reading enjoyment.

 

[Sabina_Tolchovsky]

I will second flea market, mothers day by mischeivousgrin
and would like to add The Sea
by DrFreud
I found the metaphors between a person and the sea outstanding

[Guest]

Twenty two poems appear in the new poems for May 10th.

My first mention is once white by kaishaku, a rather grim view of marriage but beautifully put.

The next one to catch and keep my attention is Smooth Grain by sensuall. I haven’t read much by this poet but I like this poem and plan to visit his collection, which is not small.

ScottX’s At the Theatre is a ghostly back stage party. A great read.

Svenskaflicka has five poems on offer, all of them in a pleasantly positive vein. Of the five I like Baby Steps the most.

In The Art Of Sex bogusbrig lets four artists colour his view of sex in an elegant poem with some memorable lines.

Stonewalled is not my cup of poetry but I mention it because of its power. It’s by a relatively new arrival arienette.

bluerains has two haikus life is a game being the better.

Thanks to all the Tuesday poets. Now go read and vote.

 

[Fflow]

Svenskaflicka

Svenskaflicka (how can one not love that name, and all it implies) has tons of submissions and several new posts. Baby Steps is a sweet statement about courage, growth, and independance. Between Shifts seems like a quiet afirmation to accept the challenges of working hard in exchange for independance. Gravitation Theme is in a similar vein. My favorite is, perhaps, the most obvious and silly of the bunch. My Pussy celebrates the joy of having a young, fresh, eager pussy. Made me wish I had one!

xoxo

Wednesday Review's

ok, here we go again....no, wait...I need more coffee.



alrighty then...now I'm ready. (I think)

to start our day I have Gravitus by bogusbrig
if you have not checked out Bbrig's work yet please do...his work is wonderful, a true artist in many ways, from darkness to sensuality his work brings fresh prospective to a dusty world.

next tiger grief by mischievousgrin
poetry should be looked at from different angles...this one is worth the read.

on to Flying Fire by My Erotic Tale
the use of creative spacing is nice on this one...nice job Art...

and last but certainly not least I bring you refusing my perscription by annaswirls
"of course
I eat poems
spiceless and raw
fresh off the street"

oh sweet anna...stop hitting the delete button, please...where else am I to read you from? your poetry list is empty where it was once full...don't deprive us your poetry and prose!

well, that is all for me today...keep writing brave poets. Sabina

New Poems of Thursday May 12, 2005

I count 38 new submissions on this the second Thursday of May, but as always I also bring you one non-erotic "spinner" from the archives.

Today's old gold:
This poem I spun-up from June of 2004. If you enjoy it, click on the name and go read some more of this Lit. member’s work. It took me 3 spins to find this poem by JCSTREET. My vocal language skills are not up to reading the Spanish in metrical rhythm, though my eyes tell me the words are right. However the translation is most impressive and moving. Here is Luna (Moon)

LUNA

By JCSTREET © 2004

La luna palida lamenta
sobre mi nino
congelado en el polvo
como las hojas de invierno
enterrado en la nieve

mientras el agua quieta
se salpica en las laderas
oigo sus risas sin parar
en la noche
en la manana
sin parar
su sollozo
sin parar

colgado como cuerda rota
cerca de mi puerta

-30-

TRANSLATION

The pale moon laments
my child
frozen in the dust
like Winter’s petals
frozen in the snow

and yet the quiet water
spatters in the hills, I

hear its laughter without cease
at night
without cease
at morning
without cease
the sobs
without cease

draped like broken thread
around my door

-30-

***

An "E" for Kaishaku‘s poem Zero, after 0 starts the list today. It has been mentioned before that this poet handles words and thoughts in a skill and manner similar to another Lit. poet, Senna Jawa, and that is a compliment as any long time readers will know. With this work Kaishaku even handles subject matter related to SJ’s professional area of interest. It is wonderful to have a new poet pick up the pen that another valued contributor seems to have put aside.

. . .
Consider null less
than something
while nothing occupies space
and time
in its wonderful curve
. . .

***

Second in line today is Wicked Eve with The other One. WE is one of Literotica’s most enjoyed poets and a stanza of today’s offering aptly demonstrates why. A for these words alone:

. . .
Will she endure, though,
like stone that reveals your name
to rain, a bloom, century of all things green
that may sprawl atop your soil
and deep wood?
. . .

***

Lucifer_Carroll has 8 poems up today and deserves mentioning for that effort alone (although I personally prefer eating candy one piece at a time rather than eating the whole box in one sitting). The first one Life Selenic is my favorite of her presentations. I gather the title refers to the moon goddess or the element and not the Serbian writer, but it is full of enough alliteration and word play that you will have to go and decide for yourself. Perhaps there is still another meaning that escapes me altogether.


I have been informed that Lucifer_Carroll is male as opposed to the female gender I implied. I yield and willingly comply to the correction. - I will maintain that the poems of this writer are more feminine than masculine, and since the author does not indicate a gender in the Bio., perhaps the misdirection was intended. - NO PROBLEM! A poem should stand on its merit. The sex of the creator does/should not matter. And so I stand corrected.

***

Spring is here by midwicket is a simple little rhyming tribute to the joys of spring days. It is not a work of great significance, but it is a quick, pleasant read, and enjoyable if your spring day was warm and sunny, and a cheer-up if it wasn’t.

***

Liar asks the letter Y and borrows words and phrase from others. Thus demonstrating the answer to his choice of character. This is a careful write and a wonderful read. My favorite of the day.

. . .
The whisper of possibility,
a susurrus rhyme telling us all
to be not afraid,
take a two step breath
and cling to the stillness.

In that quiet tick
one voice might say

. . . . . yes
. . .

***

There are several other poems by new or infrequent contributors that have some very strong lines and good possibilities. Unfortunately most of them have enough flaws or weaknesses, IMO, to drag them back to average. I won’t recommend that you read them, but if you have the time to spend and love poetry enough to be satisfied with flashes and fragments of quality, then they are out there and waiting to be found.

***

Taste is always an individual thing so there may certainly be other poems out there today that you will thoroughly enjoy. If you find ones you really like on the New Poems page, please come back and tell us about them!

And please remember that our poets need your support, so Read Vote Comment Feedback. It won’t come back around if you don’t send it out!

Regards, Rybka

 

[Syndra Lynn]

Spring is here by midwicket is a simple little rhyming tribute to the joys of spring days. It is not a work of great significance, but it is a quick, pleasant read, and enjoyable if your spring day was warm and sunny, and a cheer-up if it wasn’t.

It is a quick, pleasant read, but I found it far more significant than Rybka, perhaps just because of my Pagan roots, or perhaps because of treasured lines like:

drunken bees, bumble on
pimping ‘til the day is done.

<snip>

blackbird’s thrilling chorus
ever free, wild thesaurus.

So if you didn't read Spring is here on Rybka's recommend, go read it now. I found it brilliant, bright, and beautiful.

Illustrated Poems

Don't know whether it was in response to the thread on this subject but in any event there are 10 illustrated poems up for Friday out of 23.
There are 3 or 4 interesting ones whether you respond to pictures or not. A couple by Liar one by Wildsweetone and another by the combo of DuLac/MET are worth a look. I'll leave the rest to The Friday reviewer because whilst its almost 1pm Saturday in Sydney I guess it's early Friday evening in the US .

Look, this guy has been getting a lot of mentions here. I was going to just let it pass.

The Big Idea
I nominate this guy for something...
...best use of the word "profundity"?
I realize that there are alot better than me, here, but this guy is in my territory and I'm jealous. I got so shaken I submitted my comment twice.
His description of vastness...
Damn you bogusbrig
I bow in homage.

 

[twelveoone]

stealing a page from Rybka, a visit to the very recent past:
understated classic writing here:

To The Zoo We Go by some woman with a ribbon on her ass, WickedEve I think.

Gleaning Tenderness surprising stuff from a chimp drinkin Bud, Tathagata

Liar proves 1201 wrong here: Join The Dots

Here is something that sent me into a movie.

A few that blew me away today:
Well enough about this guy

Schematic Scapegoat by Tristesse, which must be read at least three times.

Another guy invading my cranky turf, Ishtat offering Clod
"To be declaimed with faintly tremulous pomposity
in the tradition of Henry Irving"

many, many more, well worth the trip to explore, today's and the past week's.

Monday's reviews ...

the elder
and
the younger
by annaswirls

These are at the same time a snapshot view of a moment and a view of how that moment encompasses and expresses an entire relationship. They read beautifully alone, but together, they are a wonderful combination.

Naked
by bogusbrig

I've really been enjoying this author's poetry, and this submission is no different. However, it would be interesting to see it pared down a little--> a knife taken to it to remove the excess words, to see if the starkness of thought comes through with more clarity, or if that would diminish its candor.

Simply because it was you and it was the road into you

Well worth the read.

Wanton Scud
by sensuall

This isn't a poignant or pretty read. Most of the words used are harsh, sharp, and far from picturesque. I thought this was very effective in its delivery. I get bored with 'pretty'.




Happy reading! New Poems
