Poem Artwork

Silver light in deep forest

Flowers open to the moon

Sultry stew stirs hunger

Haunches poised to spring

Birds call to primitive dance

Serpent slides to the rhythm

Temptation on the wind

Male roused to plant seed

Earth yielding, warm and fertile

Night air intoxicates heaven

Come desire, come within

Great balanced use of the "s" sounds in the beginning, middle and in the strongest "intoxicating" sense--makes the poem breathe on its own.

blessins to you Linda "in Paradiso"

Words and picture compliment each other perfectly, Linda. It certainly does have a "rainforest" feel, or at least a subcontinent one... so often Paradise to our western way of thinking is the equivalent of the English Country Garden! I love the details you have chosen to detail - very sultry and juicy! Wonderful line about the stew! The Rapture indeed... this is Heaven come to Earth. TY Kate xx

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
