"And your very flesh shall be a great poem..."

~ Walt Whitman

 

 

We form a villanelle

Two rhymes, in you I dwell…

Alliteration on my lips…

 

Creating liquid lines

Dripping meter in rich designs

Poetic honey sensuality…

 

Your Haiku hands

A 5-7-5 rhythm we understand

Couplets of pressing forms…

 

A stanza in your arms

Laughing in your limerick charms

Quatrain nights of bliss…

 

Read no lyric sweeter

Dancing in iambic-pentameter

Free verse over me…

 

My fingers reach

For your sonnet skin of peach

Your lullaby-lyric lips…

 

My words a rune

Uttered in a prose blue moon

An epic to your beauty…

 

And in your eyes

I listen for unwritten sighs

You are my poetry…

Reviews

[Cleotis Cullen Bryant]

This here invites a comparison to Whitman. It shouldn't.

[TaeRuss]

Absolutely breathtaking!

[Frantzou]

It's so good that I'm going to share it with all the people i know. :D

[Frantzou]

I probably wrote a review on this one before but all i can say is that this poem is breathtaking. It's a piece of art to me. Very well expressed.

[Constance-Outspoken]

Again you leave the reader breathless with your creativity, your form, your rhythm, and your evocative style. This should be a "classic" work of poetry, and perhaps some day it may be. You make it look easy to express yourself in the most novel and heart-rendering ways.

The theme here was so flawlessly carried throughout, which one often doesn't find as a poet flows from stanza to stanza. Every line here has its purpose, which is wonderful to see. I would not change one syllable. It is flawless.

I, of course, can greatly identify with this piece. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

It works without being too over the top. This idea could have been overly mushy, but you managed it really well.
