Hurray, everybody is back! Lovely to see some original verse by the Reverand and Steve and I really liked your Frost choice Freckle, very passionate!
I'm glad that the erotic poems went down well. The book is called 'Passionate Hearts - The Poetry of Sexual Love'...going to have to check out Mossy's title!!
One more of the less explicit poems (to spare my blushes):
First Night
you came into my life
with grace, giving me time
to want all of you. That
first night I couldn't say
whether your passion or
your gentleness moved me
more, the way we took each
other or how we talked
till dawn, our brief sleep
a ceremonial act
in the strangeness of love.

Ha ha...you know how it is...spring has sprung and everything is verdant and lush, it can have a strong effect on an impressionable person!

On a completely different note...
I'm doing some monoprints of hens and cockerels and I really like this poem:
The Prize Bird
You suit me well; for you can make me laugh,
Nor are you blinded by the chaff
That every wind sends spinning from the rick.
You know to think, and what you think you speak
With much of Samson's pride and bleak
Finality; and none dare bid you stop.
Pride sits you well, so strut, colossal bird.
No barnyard makes you look absurd;
Your brazen claws are staunch against defeat.
Marianne Moore
I'll lend you the book if you like!You probably missed the excitement caused by 'that' Auden poem a year ago....crikey, now that was rude!

Body Heat
Warmth of summer sun
Blades of grass to soon receive
Bodies, skin to skin.
I think this is really quite wonderful and especially the final few lines.
AFTER NEW HAMPSHIRE
by Rosemary Klein
Folded into each other,
origami hearts, love
knots. Each time
I never believe we will get any closer.
Afternoon lowers
her eyes as dusk
steals across the vision
of us, still touching.
Silk light.
Silk laughter.
My body floods
its boundaries.
You hold me through
each shudder, each
moan, my head tucked
into your chest, my legs
wrapped around your body,
my body filled with light,
my body light. Past
freedom and individuality
and the delight of my own
opinions, beyond serenity
and rock n’ roll, there is
happiness and I have found
its natural habitat beneath
your kiss and only
in your arms.
Am Yisrael Chai
