Living...

For Creative Poetry

A coherent train of thought

nigh impossible

once this effervescent liquid 

quenches my parched mind.

The world's cares vanish

along with my dexterity 

in attaining involvement

in life's richness.

Leaving my maltreated self

wishing again for life's aphrodisiac

to beckon me back to the

love of living and being in 

a world of sensual delight.

Author's Note

Reviews

[FJ Davis]

Ah, there's nothing I love more than a drunken woman!--unless, of course, it's a friendly drunken woman.
"Living..."--or as we literalists like to call it, "Living Three Dots"--is so exceptionally good, I have no non-trite superlative with which to describe it.
Guess I'm forced to go with "intoxicating."
I enjoyed your unique little creation very much, Judy.

[Rene Velez]

beautiful poem Judy

[...]

amazingly magical poetry
your "dexterity" with words sparkles

'Leaving my maltreated self
wishing again for life's aphrodisiac
to beckon me back to the
love of living and being in
a world of sensual delight.'

I love this as a whole and yet this stanza seals the deal.. Beautifully expressed..x
