Passions building,
throbbing, pulsating
Tautly rising towards
climactic crescendo
Flashing steel blades
dice and toss,
mixing together
a mele of images:
Firstly, figure skaters
searing through hot ice
Bodies fully charged and tensed
Athletically counterbalanced
Sinuously connected
Sensuous poetry in motion
Pure sex on a stick, oral as gelatti:
even the delicate
touch of his hand
on the small of her back
is suggestive
as the breeze dances
and plays with
the hem of her skirt;
Theirs is a muscular power
braced and under control -
the gleaming flanks of the
purebred stallion
stamping and nodding,
waiting to be unleashed from the stockade...
Then the bathing-suited beauty,
tanned and svelte
bounding along Bondi Beach;
freely flowing later
in the buff,
humping and pumping
slow and rhythmic
Cleopatra cat-like features,
her clattering beaded braids
swaying in time to the music...
Moist heat or dry ice
Ravel's Bolero
Legs 11 out of 10 every time!
Bravo Kate! Passion, energy and suspense all built to a rhythmic climax of poetry here! You get a 10+

Your poem elicits a flashback to the picture on the LP cover that I saw as a child. Wonderful images and feelings. Thank you, Kate. Love and peace. Regis

Sensous poetry indeed Kate! I know of no other writer who can control the 'movement' of their poetry, nor who has the power to make it live and breathe the way you do. The way you develop your ideas is a genius that others cannot duplicate. Your presentation of sensuality is on a tantalizing level that envelops the reader and builds to its crescendo naturally. Always exert to do your best in your poetry, and it will live in the mind and heart of many others the way it does in mine. Hugs Bill

I can SEE it!!! What an image-maker you are.
That line about "gelatti" hits home with this
Italian ice cream girl, too. A visual all by itself.
Great work, Kate. "Ravel's Bolero" is a favorite music piece of mine.
BTW...thanks for the well wishes. I am out of the fever and out
of bed on my feet...for the first time in four days! Feels good to
be alive.
