Published in Sparks Magazine and The Feminist Journal, Caroyn offers this favorite to fellow Authors Den readers, especially the women and girls.


Woman’s Day

To touch the caterpillar-curve of a baby’s thigh,

breathe in guileless oxygen,

breathe out giddy, unshackled glee

to see a sunrise of pink-spun sugar,

silken sunsets the color of cantaloupes,

to mouth a mango’s flesh,

taste a plum’s orgasmic juice,

to bask in an approving smile,

but mostly, my dear,my ingénue,

to suck in sharp, quick spikes of choice,

ether’s own freedom.

Excellent imagery evoking thought of so much pleasure in little things that mean more than finite minds often comprehend or fail to notice. Well written, Carolyn! Perhaps, when you have time, you will visit my A/D pages: poetry, essays, books, articles, etc.
