"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 read this poem twice and ended up saying "I LOVE this" out loud; so suffice it to say, this poem is exceptionally well done.

Thank you so much for stopping here.. and for your encouraging words!

[Amy Craig Beasley]

wit and beauty - intertwined --- I love the beginning the middle and the end --- the nod to Whitman is a nice touch -- words becomeing flesh becoming words again - we are what we say - an incarnation -- and what better time to read this than on the verge of Christ mass day ~

Enjoyed this one immensely...Using the forms of poetry to write the work was great..I have seen this done before but this is the best one that I have ever read..Very creative indeed..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work...I appreciate your kind review..Head lice are not anything new in the schools...Daddy said his sister went home with a friend then momma found head lice..If one doesn't get on those things they will infect the whole family..Sunflower
