Bodacious nectar'd' candy ~

Bodacious ginger'd candied poetry

still life of Monet's marmalade art

dark cherry wine lingerie

Beethoven's flair of symphony

surrendered in your rapture

submitted to your every whim

 bondage and silky wraps 

rapid rhythmic rhyming beats

reverberate breathing sparks

painted Daliesque posies

silent echoes of dark apparitions

ocean swells anointing bliss

moon tides sacred kiss,

nature's chromatic dust

pink pearlized polka dots

intoxicating kaleidoscopic eyes

reflections of butterfly hues

darkly encapsulated horror

naked souls, weeping spirits

sculpted iridescent rainbows

brazen relished heart's desire

rubik's cube algorithm mind games

wrap'd in figgy puddin' ladyfingers 

tickling traces in bold context

power of words compels us, 

cure for anything at all,

  salty sea breezes

& poetry ~

• Still Life with Bottle, Carafe, Bread and Wine

•  Claude Monet Paintings

What a magnifcence of words! This is a mix of emotion and experience, the looking into rather than just looking at. Your word use is just breathtaking, near muddle of legend and idiom.. tis astounding, one of the best of your very best and how many those are!

'.. darkly encapsulated horror ~ naked souls, weeping spirits ~ sculpted iridescent rainbows ~ brazen relished heart's desire ~ rubik's cube algorithm mind games ~ wrap'd in figgy puddin' ladyfingers .. '

In an intensely thoughtful way, you've re-interpreted the canvas.. magical!

Wow petulia, you knocked me off my chair with this one, thanks so much Emma, you humble me with your kind words my friend. I'm saving this review! Grazie mille....xo

[Eric Pudalov]

Beautiful review, Emma! This is almost as wonderful as the poem itself; in fact, you helped me write mine. I was at a loss for words at first!

[icelandicblue]

Salty breezes and poetry sounds completely delightful. This is one perfectly sweet write:

A beautiful impressionistic delight of poetry and music and more! One can taste and see the myriad of moments you capture and express through your joyful dance of linked letters! :)

What an outstanding poem Frieda. Nicely written.

Kaze~ :-)

[Frieda P]

Grazi mille Kazie :-)

[♔ CrownedDevil ☾]

All good Frieda! :)

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

Whoa, this is so creative! Who knew that EVERYTHING in the world (i.e., food, music, poetry, paintings, sensuality- aka, all the arts) could be so poetic? And I love how your last few lines explicitly state this huge connection- all of which is very insightful, in my point of view.

A pleasure to read.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for this glowing review, muchly appreciated Cascara!

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goes Cascading!)]

My pleasure! xx

One of your many, MANY talents is being able to find inspiration in outside art. This was quite the carousel ride you sent me on here Mrs.R...I wasn't sure if I was reading poetry, sipping wine, making love (...nah I wasn't doing that, I was just reading about that part), painting, listening to the ocean, playing with Rubik's Cubes, or a multitude of other things. Of course, I can do it all when I'm under you poetic spell. Every line is a knockout, there is never a lull in your work...I finish every poem trying to figure out how to tell you how unbelievably good you are, as I'm pretty much out of expressions :) xo

[Frieda P]

Ha did you get dizzy Benji. So many places and things to grab that inspiration from, I like 'poetic spell'...woo, that blew my skirt up! Grazie mille my sweet friend ;-) xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha You always leave me dizzied by your brilliance love...and it's always nice when I can do that skirt trick ;) Thank you for leaving me spellbound Mrs.R ;) xo

Frieda - though I've yet to read *all* of your poetry, I believe this must be one of your best. The descriptions are so full of life and vivid: "dark cherry wine lingerie/Beethoven's flair of symphony." Each line evokes many sounds, scents, pictures, and emotions.

This poem is not merely sexy - it has elements of sadness, fear, mystery, love, and beauty all wrapped into one (as Emma said below, "a magnificence of words"). I've had to read it several times in an attempt to decipher the meaning, and even after multiple readings, I still may not know what you had in mind.

But it also seems like the kind of poem from which each reader could draw her own meanings and feelings. I do have one small critique (unless this was done on purpose) - in line 7, you wrote "bonadage and silky wraps." Was that intended to say "bondage"? Even so, certain misspellings can work to your advantage, and in this case, "bonadage" somehow fits the rhythm better. So, feel free to correct it or not - you're the creator.

Once again, this is absolutely wonderful work - my favorite of yours that I've read so far!

[Frieda P]

Your review is magnificent Eric, thanks so much. I tired to recall parts of poetry I've read that had an effect on me, so there's a lot going on there, yes. Ha yep that's how we say it in joisey...type-o for sure, thanks for the heads up my friend and grazie mille for this glorious review!

[Eric Pudalov]

Ah, you're very welcome! I like to give helpful and detailed reviews (whether I like the poem or not).

Rather flamboyant, you do have a way of shacking your readers, well done, good read.

[Frieda P]

Shacking, now there's a word, thanks, I know you live in flamboyant dear. ;-)

[Tate Morgan]

Hmm you are quite the articulate maiden of high society. Romantic to the core.

[Frieda P]

Ha, that made me laugh Tate, thanks so much for gracing my page with your presence. ;-)

[Tate Morgan]

NP I am up early heading off into the wild blue it is freezing here 12 degrees

[Frieda P]

Got you beat, it's only 6 degrees here, enjoy your day.....

[Tate Morgan]

oh yeah well its snowing now

[Giggling Star]

Frieda, honey, you do use some amazing words in your poems. Individually the words are simple, but the way you combine them boggles my mind. I couldn't come up with something like this if my life depended on it!

[Frieda P]

You humble me giggles, just let yourself float, hear the music in your head, and take drugs haha, kidding kidding. ;-P I meant thanks muchly....
