wordlust.

each syllable flows across my tongue

tart crisp goldendelicious goodness

filling my mouth with juices

to make my whole self ache

my fingers wriggle, itching to hold a pen,

to create words that equal

what these few have inspired within me

 

oh to spread them like cream

upon the silken pale hue of my flesh

to soak them in, osmosis-like,

consume them

absorb them

drape them across the curves of my ribs

an inner shield of gorgeous frippery

hung to dry on a clothesline

that had been left unadorned

abandoned

for far too long

She lusts for words, aching for newer
and more profound meaning in her
repertoire.
"Wordlust" captures the reader. Her
gift delivers rapture in a talented
profusion of sounds, painted in to a
gift, designed and delivered on a plate
of flowers to please every reader.

Incredible writing !

I love the ideas and images in this. And it's so nice to be able to hear and to read it together.

You know what your writing reminds me of?
Its like reading the menu in my favorite restaurant, reading through the list, and almost tasting each item, all the flavors and aromas, wanting to order them all, the food, the wine, the dessert ……
But hay, what do I know?
Well done

Sexy and yummy way of describing our lust to play with words.

What a beautiful, poignant write that moves so smoothly across the page. You vividly let us know what drives us on... to write... to create... to wander within the realm of words...

[Una Xoto]

Yes... yes.. & yes! This is gorgeous. Such a rich feast. You are a lover as are we all to this poetic Caravan. This piece captures why we are all here.

[Jonathan Ballam]

Reading this I felt my head consumed and enveloped by sensual imagery. This is elegant and playful, not to mention deeply moving. I really enjoyed the beginning that I was ready to eat up if it were possible.

Two Thumbs Up!

I love this because I love the idea of poetry being live -- hurrah! -- and spoken -- hurrah! -- and dramatic -- hurrah! A perfectly executed sonnet has an intelligent beauty about it but the idea of words having a wild, free sensuality is far more appealing to the buccaneering mind. This poem is everything a microsoft spreadsheet or a mobile phone is not. It is about the core us, we humans, and that which makes us what we are, language. And of course it is in the finest language of all. Hurrah! Hurrah!
