I like the use of the classics mixed in with modern phrase that communicate our culture- the coke glass and the coke up your nostrils- a great phrase there with the backstroke. You offer your physical self to be molded, shaped and surrendered as "putty in hands", but there is a mind there too that offers thoughts as classic and deep as Plato and Aristotle. The complete surrender of your will is scary to me, but I get it. Great poem.

It's getting there. It's an interesting piece, because yes, I do display my knowledge of the classics, in which I will be forever digging through, and modern times. I'm glad you like the backstroke phrase hehe not one of my proudest years but what the hell...
I pretty much have been an offering all my life had fought it all my life up until recently I have accepted I am not here for me, but for those who seek me. I guess the thing your eyes see and the mental tattoos that linger have forced me to surrender, but not submit completely I must say...
Thank you once again Marianne!
Very sweet! I am loving' the metaphors and beautiful imagery in this. It's like seeing it all play in my mind as i read this! Amazing write. :)

Just to make people escape for just a moment... and have the word birth life in the mind that was never recognized.
Nice. This is so smooth when read. You have a talent that can't be argued. Lucky girl to receive such beautiful words.

Sweet and more sweet words... to flow into the recesses of the mind
"Giving me a rush like
The coke that used
To do backstrokes
Up into my nostrils"
Awesome use of metaphors and imagery

A magnificent piece with rhythm that flows right off the page. Love the concept, we all seem to be braver with words on our pages than speaking in person or even over the phone.

Thank you Crystal, I highly appreciate that!
I'm loving the rhythm of your poem. I particularly like how your piece alludes to this Pulp Fiction kind of thing. Really digging the vibes and overall a great work!
A sweet and sensitive love poem. I liked the alliterative style and use of slant rhymes, it gave it a loose and relaxed kind of flow for me. And everyone loves coke. Not coke, I mean coke.
