"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…

I love these lines: My fingers reach
For your sonnet skin of peach
Your lullaby-lyric lips…
And in your eyes
I listen for unwritten sighs
You are my poetry…

This is erotic and sensuality in the making.
So graceful, yet temptation lurks within
every stanza:)).

There is such a magical and romantic feel to this! The rhyming is really good-actually, everything about this poem is soooo good! And I like the picture as well... :) 100/100

How magnificent this verse is, Craig! Creativity is unsurpassed as vilanelles, haiku, etc. will never be the same...

I love the 'quatrain nights of bliss' and 'a stanza in your arms'... Also, the quote from Whitman is excellent in exposition although one can EASILY compare your skills to many of the classic writers.

'Larger than life.'

This is what comes to mind when I read this brilliant poem...

[Jenny Nelson]

Beautiful! You couldn't have written anything more perfect to go with the Walt Whitman quote. You "fleshed it out" wonderfully.

[Emily Burns]

beautiful poetry . . . amazing love

[Millionth Muse]

This was just simply beautiful...I love the imagery, and the way that the words dance down the page in perfect meter and rhythm. *sigh* This one left me a little breathless, and the last stanza really sent me into a poetic frenzy; inspiring me deeply. Nicely done.

Timeless appeal.. like the beauty of a rose.. this was sensual and romantic! Your words are very classic and softly touching. To compare of woman you love to that of poetry.. when your writing clearly shows the depth of your love for itself.. is a very high tribute to the rhythm of your love. Great work.. in awe of the textures and essences you can write in and ..loved your ending.. Bravo!
