Late thoughts from Sunday....

Hi all..
thank you for the great response to the Sunday Community Reviews! I was away camping under the shooting stars... hence I am a wee bit late with my pics....

May I suggest:

War's Vision by Le Broz

Obstacle by darthjser

and ....

Ophelia by stacistatas

all are worth a read and ponder. Thank you all again for coming together for the Sunday reviews I look forward to seeing more from others on Sunday. See you next week

From the Algonquin Hotel

Dorothy once said of a novel she was reviewing: "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."

So, with today's poetry bouncing off walls like so many superballs, I found one I couldn't toss aside. Its whirling wordplay, alliteration and hint of internal rhyme drew me into the odd reflection... a dyslexic mirror by lobomao

"I pull you through my mouth
with twistongue echos repeating
double stop rhymes and such
so and so and sorry so
but know now I know you know
what likes it might like be
behind these star crossed eyes
you see I see what you see
through the shattered mirror
..."


Dorothy might roll her eyes a bit, but I think I can convince her this one is worth reading... several times in fact.

Okay, another one you shouldn't toss aside is:Crossing Changes by bluerains

Though it bordered on melodramatic, I think Dorothy would like reading "...amid viridian mist in..." aloud. I sure did.


The rest of the poems? Well, my arm is a bit sore.


Well that's a twit's take on Monday's poems, read 'em yourselves and see which one's you'd throw aside with great force. As for me... I'll be busy today.

Twenty-four poems to be reviewed this first day of November and I’m listening to Bach’s English Suites.

First up Angeline works her magic in Room With A View presenting some lovely images -

“One window hangs
in a brown frame
with a lavendar candle
and patchouli incense
on the sill to demarcate
my world.”


- and with a beautiful structure that turns from the security of memories outward to a less-than-secure world made all the more piquant for me with Glen Gould’s accompaniment.

lobomao has six new poems showing today. This poet expresses his own unique style using alliteration and clever word choices. I enjoyed them all.

Merry Go Round by Temptress1 is a prose poem that reads a bit like a gossip on crack. I find her voice refreshing different and daring, looking forward to reading more of her work.


Final Renovation a cleverly titled poem by Liar – a relationship’s Indian Summer dying days. Bitter and yet philosophical, after all, it happens to us all. Some lovely lines –

“We let in
an indian summer wind,
spiralling a dust cloud in the sun.
You stepped in
and swirled along
to tell me that a new day had begun.”


Coming by dr_mabeuse is a bit untidy but well worth reading – I wish it was more “show” and less “tell”..

Dewdrop by CuriousWife is a cautionary piece about one night stands that won’t leave. Nicely done but too short for a quote – Oh! What the heck!

“I knew what he needed
in the second that it took
to swallow cappuccino
confessions at three a.m.,
and against my better judgment –“



Lastly I recommend your own punishment by dorksicle is an odd piece by a prolific but – largely – unrecognized poet.

Bach's finished and so have I, I’m sure I’ve left off your personal favourite of the day. Please go and read your fellow poets, vote, comment and add any you think need mentioning here.

Thank you.

There are only 13 new poems posted so far, and you're invited to read them all for yourself. I didn't find anything particularly memorable amongst today's offerings, but perhaps some of you will!

Otherwise, you could take the opportunity to visit the Poetry Discussion Circle and comment on Rybka's poem "Near Nigh Now". It will be well worth your time.
 
Bee and Butter....

Bee and Butter, by Red Haired and Friendly is a sweet absolutely adorable little poem. It's well worth a read, especially for those seeking an escape from heavier fare!

New Poems of Thursday November 3, 2005

Again, there are 23 new submissions to read on this first Thursday of November, and as I always do, I bring you one non-erotic "spinner" from the archives with which to start.

Today's Golden Oldie:
This poem comes from June of 2004, and I found this one by longtime member Cordelia on the 14th spin. Unfortunately she has not posted a new poem this year and I miss her. :(
I see that this is a form poem, but I don't know the name of the form. - Anybody else know and want to tell us?
Waiting Room

Rapture waits in time I’ve loaned
to festivals in a “maybe” past.
My trip to the moon has been postponed.

I sigh in spectrums under-toned,
with passions held in color-fast
while rapture waits in time I’ve loaned

with interest. I am unatoned
until I surrender up, at last.
My trip to the moon; it’s been postponed.

Tranquil in the seconds owned
with minutes counted, softly passed
in rapture. I have time I’ve loaned

to one collecting fees, disowned
by passing title. Yet all’s surpassed:
my trip to the moon has been postponed.

In patience, which has been condoned,
I hold my tickets, business-classed.
While rapture waits in time I’ve loaned.
And my trip to the moon has been postponed.

Oregon Gal is a brand new contributor to the Literotica poetry scene. She enters flourishing a fistful of poems. I find them of varying quality and some that could be stronger with a little editing, but do I see some talent here worth encouraging. So click on her name above and go read her work. Then leave some comments and tell her what you think.

Man Ray
posts two versions of the same poem today:
tree explodes

walking together in our special woods
a tree explodes in Autumnal shrapnel
swirling, twirling shards of colour
we're caught in the arboreal blast
laughing with love stricken eyes

tree explodes (edited version)

We’re here together in our secret woods
as trees explode in Autumn shrapnel
swirling shards of colour fall
and we're caught in the windy blast
laughing, love struck.

The above peom is edited by a poet who I greatly admire so I thought it would be interesting for the two versions of the `tree explodes` to be read. Have fun!
I like some of the phrases in both better than the proffered alternatives. I might do a third version along the lines of:

"tree explodes

Walking in our special woods
trees explode with autumn shrapnel.
Twirling shards of color fall
arboreal bursts in swirling blasts
catching us in laughing love."

What would you do with Man Ray's metaphor? Why not go tell him?

***

lobomao posts a non-erotic poem, applicant and an erotic poem titled
speed kills today. Because I am a sucker for alliteration and word play I like the latter better, but you should read both and choose for yourself.

***

My fourth and final choice today is by sack who hears his muse calling and picks up his pen. He tells about it in
I hear a poem calling...
from a vanishing corner of the sky
on whispered ethereal angel song

far beyond the rustling branches
far above the cumulus streaking

I hear a melody...
***

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

Today there are twenty-seven new poems

I chose these seven to mention.

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

Two poems from laelia

trip skip and focus .

I prefer the first one, a short game with words.

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

I like Steel Veins by bluerains although I do take issue with the first two lines.

“Trapped into cages of
mindless series of misfortunate events,”


I would have used “in” alone and “unfortunate”.

Just my quibble.

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

dcpoet44 presents Submission Guidelines Pique Interest seeing poetry in the news and vice versa. Funny and odd.

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

cut by silken_dreammaid handles a tricky subject of self-mutilation with sensitivity.

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

Feeling Minnesota by ragsthetiger is an oddly compelling piece from a new voice.

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

Finally my pick-o-the-day is Definition: Chara the title doesn’t do this poem justice. It’s a beautiful hymn to a lost love with words that flood the senses.

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

Please read all the poems offered today, make your comments, votes and then write one of your own.
 
Wed Poems

Is Lauren around, or did she say anything about not doing reviews today?
I'll mention a few that may be of interest to some readers.

At the top of the new poems list is an E poem:
In The Morning
by oregon_gal ©

This poem offers some standard literotica lines like:
To your sweet skin I lay my lips and put my tongue to taste

Do you feel me? My breasts are deliciously
Against you
My hand
Follows the curve of your back to the
Swelling of your buttocks


And some better lines:
We move together pressing away the sunlight between our bodies

Seeking you like the morning sunlight
That streams through hollow glass panes


~.~ ~.~ ~.~

They Killed Ole Betsy Yesterday
by My Erotic Tale ©

Betsy
like to bask in the sun
she was very, very old
and didn't hardly run...

...any more!


"run" had me thinking car, but Betsy isn't a car. Of course, cars don't bask--except mine. It really does. Anyway, what or who is Betsy. If you are a fan of Art's homespun tales, then you may very well enjoy the tale of Betsy. Who is Betsy?

~.~ ~.~ ~.~

If you seek something less homespun, much less homespun, then you'll find it in bogusbrig's The Disillusionist's Illusion

His words having fallen to the floor were scorned
The ventriloquist having abandoned him to the baying crowd


~.~ ~.~ ~.~

Hey, guys! Here's a twit poem that's fun to read aloud.
When Mountain Poems
by Algonquin Twit ©

to behold as told in a swill
of ill literacy subverting art
in a one by one progression
of poorly wrought thought
or shocking lack thereof.

Only six lines, but nice lines.

LoSt MiNd ~

Lost mind

Not bad. It gets points for skeletons and dancing on graves.

New Poems of Thursday November 10, 2005

There are 17 new submissions to read on the second Thursday of November, and as I always do, I bring you one non-erotic "spinner" from the archives with which to start.

Today's Golden Oldie:
This poem comes from July of 2003, and I found this interesting one by longtime member Senna Jawa on the 5th spin. How many are familiar with SJ's subject?
Du Fu (and a passenger's thoughts)

filled
with snow and shine
with rains and stars
the skies
were a living
spacious room
to the ones
in Du Fu's care

today
the clouds below
glow but throw
a shadow
down onto
the gray Atlantic

if this
metallic bird
were a writer
and lost
its small ones in fog
it'd be a poet
after a million miles
like Du Fu
a thousand and more
years ago
sailing up and down
chinese rivers
merging
into the other
ocean

no highways
cross apartments and homes
plush wall to wall

the hot air
between the seat of a comfy chair
and the seat of acceptable slacks
might be loud
but will never
shoot the pen
thru the ceiling

the monkeys on slopes and hills are long gone

the paper money and tax forms multiply

come travel Du Fu again
cross with us the white water
at the edge of the new millenium
sail up and down the electronic streams
amplify the faint echo
of your social concern
of the color of your children's pain
paint the chinese mountains in crisp fractals
and pour the eternal wine

there'll be never another poet like you



Wlodzimierz Holsztynski
1992-05-16/19
***

I had to read all the other poems before I came to the only one I want to make sure you read today.

Angeline is last in line today but first in quality today (IMO) with Cold Hands. The first stanza with its multiple meaning word plays could stand alone, or at least start several different kinds of poems.
An hour here, an hour
there. The pennies ebb
like tides, but someone pays
or no one rides for free.
It doesn't matter anymore,
this pride of win or place
is all a show, all the depth
of void if you ask me.
. . .
After this beginning the poem gets relational, personal and perhaps painful, but well worth reading. :rose:

***

Of the 17 poems 11 are non-erotic and all but four of them are by writers unknown to me, as are all the erotic ones. So you might want to go read some of them to see if their style appeals to you.

Besides Angie, today you will also find work by such familiar names as:
Curiouswife
dorksicle
sweet GA peaches

***

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! ;)

There are thirty odd poems today if I haven't been counting yesterday's too but I don't think I have. There is plenty of wishful thinking eroticism that seems more interested on making the writer cum than interesting the reader. Doesn't anyone nowadays notice their partner's arse is getting flabby or having sex with them is becoming a habit but for all the intrusion of reality, they still find something about them that makes their relationship worth the while? Is their anyone out there that can write an erotic poem that makes the readers loins ache and reminisce over some nostalgic memory of their own? I'm all for eroticism but the writer has to somehow engage the reader. After awhile, wet pussys (I've never really seen the erotic charge in women having a soaked cat in their knickers myself) and heaving breasts that threaten to concuss, can get a little too much, the over enthusiastic male needs a cock the size of an elephant's trunk to defend himself.

Damn I've just gone back to look at the poems and most seem to have disappeared, there are only eleven now. Either I'm going batty or some poems have gone. OK I'll just review the eleven that are left.

There are six by Aurora Black, most on a similar theme. It appears, if these are autobiographical, she has come out of the wrong end of a relationship with themes of betrayed love, alienations and resentment about having to look like a doll to compete. She pulls her punches too much for my liking, in Merchant Of Death she writes...

Don't cry to me for mercy.
I'm not selling any today.
But I've got a sale on pitchforks,
Which you'll need more than I'll say.

well if it was me, I'd tell him exactly what I'd do with it, though my preference is a meat cleaver, a stake through the heart and disembowelment, just to make sure. In Dolls, her bitterness is more exposed and more to my liking, if you want to bare your teeth, don't smile, bite!

Nothing but fluff beyond the outer shell,
Intellect nonexistant, dull as hell.
The personality of a crumb of bread,
Nothing to offer other than quickies in bed

Just about what every man wants I guess, an easy lay. Intellectual women can be very demanding and less than thankful. In Weights And measures she takes the theme further...

You're nobody until somebody loves you,
And nobody loves you unless you have
A twenty-inch waist, buns of steel
Wonderbra heaven, nibbling at every meal.

Well I guess he wasn't looking for love and got what he wanted, a brainless Barbie Doll that says yes. But you can't beat a bit of anger, bitterness and resentment to beef a poem up. I would have liked her poems more if she spat more poison but that's just me.

f-cynyr, writes in Blowjob

In your flowing delirium,
You drop to your knees,
Penance of you lust and devotion
Eyes glazed, face as pure as light,
You take the flesh jewel in pious clasp hands
Longing and praying for my
Pure white eruption.

Maybe it's just me but I've been around a long time and I've never conjured up such a reaction by sticking my cock in a woman's face. Hmm, maybe it's my cock but as I stand here with my jeans around my ankles in front of the mirror, it doesn't look so bad to me. In fact it seems nicely proportioned, maybe it could do with an extra inch but at least it's straight.

It could be I don't get such a reaction from a woman when I get the opportunity to thrust my cock in her face because I've never met anyone lie Poppin Poppy who writes in Take Me, Tease Me

Your hardness against me is driving me wild
My arms around you, fingers groping.
Oh my god I want you!
Thrown on my bed, you on top.
Holding my arms down, biting my lips.
Your force yourself in me, and oh god, Mitch!

I'm thinking about changing my name to Mitch. Why does all this sort of stuff always happen to someone else? Compare one of my experiences from a poem I wrote years ago when I thought poetry was what you wrote on toilet walls and I still had some yearning in me.

Round the back against the market stalls
With a girl who didn't understand
Love could be more than groping hands
The lonely walk home through empty streets
Through the bleak barren psychology
Of cold post coital depression

Hmm I'm beginning to see where I went wrong.

bluerains gives us some serious musing in a short poem with a delicate conclusion called Elemental Things

They tangle and weep through their hallowed ground
within innocent saplings, as if daring to hide
glamour from the sun.

I prefer my nature raw, wild and cruel but that's me. This is a serious poem and worth a few moments reflection so take a look yourselves new poems and if you find where those other twenty poems disappeared to I'd like to know!
Perhaps

I just want to mention Sabina_Tolchovsky's Hunter's Moon in today's poems, it's sparse, raw and unsentimental. There is no romantic musing here, in order for something to live, something has to die, death is necessary. Call it cruel if you like but it isn't, it's just nature at work, nature without a dewey eyed veneer.

Other than that there is the normal assortment of drowned cats and steel hard erections that are more likely to send the receiving female to the accident and emergency unit at the local hospital, rather than leaving her with a satisfied smile. The danger is not all hers either, the man has to negotiate titanium tipped nipples, the idea of having to face a couple of bullets when wanting to take your woman, makes me realise how vulnerable the male spider feels when approaching the black widow. All is not lost, there seems to be plenty of easy lays around and women begging for male attention, however, he'd better hurry up because she might melt like vanilla ice cream first but then I suppose, he could always lick her off the floor.
 
Sometimes walking away, not quite knowing what you are looking at is a good thing.
Such is the case here
Hunters Moon by Sabina_Tolchovsky

not a very strong piece, but here I don't think strong is wanted
Illumination by Curiouswife a person who seems to have very good instincts about writing

Happy, happy earth! from the beast of Leman
 
*

I found this poem to be rather different...and a strong story ..however, Men also suffer at times from the same dominion..I have had menfriends who were abused by a mate...Imho...it would been dramatic...with the whole picture...I liked the read though..
We Will Be Together Forever
by Elizabetht ©
 
I found three interesting poems today...

One, Hunters Moon by Sabina Tolchovsky is mentioned twice above and, aside from a slight typo or two, I found it an engaging, if savage herald of the passing of seasons:

"I would kill the Fall
drag it's body north to shed it's blood
bright on snow for winters sacrifice"



Saphos Sister posted several poems today with Pearl the highlight of the poems. In this Quatrain Saphos Sister presents a brief but highly erotic image... and it rhymes. Well done!


My favorite poem of the day was urgent by Laelia. In a concise poem Laelia frames the erotic urgency of a late night (actually early morning) encounter with some powerful imagery:

"You’re the 3:26 a.m. train
slicing through my night
and thighs."


Eve posted a rant about the difference between erotic and pornographic. Urgent is wonderfully erotic... read it now.

Nine new poems today, of those I’ve picked four to mention.

Angeline puts her personal stamp on a glose with Winter Harbor using Thomas Hardy’s ~

“To others she appeared anew
At times of dusky light,
But always, so they told, withdrew
From close and curious sight.”


- as her anchor lines and produces a smooth and very readable form poem. A little haven of peace in an – otherwise – pretty violent collection


debase+ment by 4degrees - exorcism by masturbation


The Taking Of Yurkiko by bogusbrig is a violent and erotic tour de force. – beautiful and brutish by turns.



CuriousWife has two poems appearing today. Of the two I prefer Pornography, My Love . Go and read both – in fact read all the new poems.

~~~888~~~
 
16.Nov

There are eleven new poems today, so it won't be too taxing reading them all for yourself. There are some interesting reads, such as Ways Of The Flesh, by bluerains, or privation, by 4degrees, but the one I'm going to highlight is:


The Girl With The Ego Lego
by Liar ©

(...)

Do I have a brick of me
for you? Or did I only take you
to pieces? I'm sorry, but I know
no other way to see,
if all the random parts I have
are parts of someone else,
or all that is me.

(...)

Another poem worth checking is There is always a trigger, by Minervous - an obvious response to Eve's ball sac thread. ;)
 
New Poems of Thursday November 17, 2005

There are 16 new submissions to read on this the third Thursday of November, and as I always do, I bring you one non-erotic "spinner" from the archives with which to start.

Today's Blast from the Past :
This one comes from March of 2003, and I found this interesting poem by longtime member (since November of 2001) Blue Dolphin on the 23rd spin.


Full Circle

Whispers walking in dead men’s shoes
The universal conscious of man be now abroad
Spiralled through history’s double helix

Reciprocated wisdom searching
Time was, time is, and time will be
Repetition
The perennial ellipse of learning curve
Ever bending never ending

Footprints
Filaments of freedom
Despotic desires
Entwined to infinity

Whispers walking in dead men’s shoes
Full circle
***

Today's list starts with an E titled Home. This a nostalgic trip through attic memories and is softly written as the theme requires, but tightly woven as expected from Tristesse . This is a short 'must read'. - Go do it, I'll wait. . . :rose:

***

The Hurdle by My Erotic Tale is the next poem I want you to read today. To me this is unlike anything else MET has posted here at Literotica. (Except for the apparently mandatory errors, i.e. "cob webs" and "obsticle". ;) ) Are you sure you wrote this Art? :rose:
lost since the moment I fell into your eyes,
swimming the currents of exhilarating thoughts
consumed in your radiant warmth
and burning with the pain of knowing

Third of my choices is Snake Oil by a brand new Lit. poet, TheRainMan. This is a poem dealing with the character of certain revival meeting preachers, and is an excellent first submission showing talent and insight.
Here god talks with a drawl.
He’s clean-cut, looks
like he’s been dipped in Crisco
and dressed for Saturday night.

Today the lord wears blue suede shoes.
He’s a soul man. And he’s
got the crazy eyes of a pyromaniac.

In their firefear they murmur and praise,
reach for salvation in their wallets.
They hand over meat money,
pablum money, willing
to do whatever it takes,
to starve their babies to be saved.

Next is A Man and A Woman - III by LeBroz. The scenes he sets will seem all to real to some.

Lofty Thoughts is a short cute poem by another new poet, cclark191. I personally think that the well written and intriguing first strophe deserves to lead a longer more serious poem, but that is just me. ;)
Lofty are the thoughts,
well hidden in the hay
in the upper level attic
of the barn across the way.

My final recommendation for today is Dance by f-cynyr another recent addition to the Lit. roster. This one could use a little editing and maybe some "shelf-time", but I see talent worth developing here.
In the music throbbing
dark,
I watched you dance,
through The heat and sparks.

To A Poet, Who Would Have Me Praise Certain Bad Poets. . .
You say, as I have often given tongue
In praise of what another's said or sung,
'Twere politic to do the like by these;
But was there ever dog that praised his fleas?
~ Yeats
