Okay, more poems are now up.

The first one is an E poem:

eel skin bound
by annaswirls ©

set out, propped up by reputation
onion skin eyelids filter more
when open wide, pupil slit narrows
and tongue flicks the air for a taste
of the pressurized jasmine
that sends the signal
there is nothing worth biting here

Read and comment. I would comment but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Of course, it's noisy here with the elves. Anyway, get started with this poem and I'll return when it's quieter.

Now that it's much quieter, and I've given the poem the time it deserves, I see that it really is a fantastic poem--with my comments only. It would be nice to have a few comments from others. And I see that Liar's poem doesn't have many comments either.

seannelson

Okay.

There is a poet you should check out if you have not already.

I realized today that the "kid" has posted a bunch of poems here, with little comments (raising my hand: GUILTY!) since he has appeared. Now he posts one that is controversial-- and comments appear... (GUILTY!)

okay so I am feeling guilty, but I also really want to encourage you to go read his other stuff. Get to know him. There is something for everyone.

best--

New Poems

Well gang, lotsa new stuff today and I have taken my sweet time reading them too

Lost Sister, Lost Brother,by, foehn. PLease read this one. Its really good, and the only thing I wonder about is the multi-repitions, but they are good, emphasizing...maybe its just me, but some of the lines are just wonderful...In fact, made me instantly think of Whitman.

...yes you lost brother and sister
sparkle with death in a blackness yet undreamed
and in the glitter of the distant grass
i see god’s fingers drawing forth the wind..



conjoin us, by My Erotic Tail. I really liked this one. Despite a few spellling errors ( yes, I know, I know, we have discussed this) by MET. I think this one might be a bit too good to leave them misspelings ( wink) in there, just my opinion


Echoes,by jthserra.Tastefully erotic, sensual and subtle. I felt a curious Citizen Kane ref at the end, I liked the connotations.


Gnostic Dreams, by Du Lac. Here is a poet that I have only recently noticed. (I'm sorry about that, Du Lac )

This one is pretty darned good. Especially the first four stanzas. The only suggestion I would make is, a few of the words like volcanic are very strong images to me, (don't know about other people), but it sort of hurts the tranquility of the first part. I wanted to say it is too long, but when I tried to take out a verse that didnt belong, I couldnt choose one. I enjoyed this very much
~~~

Tomb Raider, by, The Mutt. wowza!! Damn Mutt, this is verrry nice, yes in deed. A Sonnet, right? ( God, I hope Im right, I hate feeling dumb.

The only thing..it feels like your rhythm is off in one line--with brown-edged leaves that droop and curl from thirst... other than that, I will say I am never surprised at how you entertain me, I truly enjoy your work, and I should tell you more often.


That's it for me today. If anyone wants to mention some you think I might have overlooked, please post your suggestions here. As always, thanks to everyone who posted, a pleasure to read.

Vote, comment, send FB, but most of all write.

Tuesday 12-28

Good morning. I'll let you get started with these poems while I read the rest.


Reviewing the situation
by tungtied2u ©

The bowls
sitting upon the cabinet shelf
waiting to hold your cereal
are just as happy
left empty and undisturbed

A great poem from the title, down to the last line. Well written and a poem that makes you think. Don't miss this one.

Also: Wave of Anguish

----------

sac-ora (the Art of verbal combat)
by My Erotic Tale ©

sac-ora
the Art of
verbal combat
rule number one
recommends advantage
terrain

it's not enough to win
arguments are struggles
of the within
to repel another's
to empower their will
two rule

Interesting poem. You will probably need to invest some time in reading it.

----------

Not a Day Goes By
by Seeker n Finder ©

Years have dimmed my eyes,
as I search the black granite.
Groping with trembling hands,
I rub to paper that is in my heart.

Here is a poem that could use some editing. Maybe longer line lengths--that sort of thing. But overlooking those things, this is a poem with some touching content. I'm sure the poet would appreciate feedback.

----------

Strangers
by obliteratedinnocence ©

Ahh, yes and you want the same.
And you wonder,
How long will it take,
for him to approach you,

Literotic, I'm sure, began as only an adult story site, then poetry was added. I'm also sure that it began with the idea of offering only adult poetry. Then many of us came along with our softer, erotic words and our non erotic ones.
This poem is not exactly erotic--more adult, like many of the poems here. But I believe this one works better than many similar to it. It concentrates on just that moment when you know someone wants you and you wonder how long it will take. This poem does manage to create some sexual tension. So offer the poet some praise, constructive feedback, whatever you feel appropriate.

----------

Where You Find It
by elbiscayne ©

The red man gazed around the scene,
boomed, "WHATHA HELL YOU DOIN' HERE?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WITH FAMILY,
AND NOT IN HERE SUCKIN' BEERS!"

I raised two fingers in the air,
put my Visa down in front.
"A Bud for me and the red man,
give the green dudes what they want."

Santa's a lush? Well, if you can't get enough Christmas poetry, then give this a try.

----------

winter butterflys
by seranade ©

here
there
and there and ...

floating in mass
they zag and flutter
flicker and swirl
sail and rudder

Nicely written. A soft, lovely poem.

----------

Like A Kite
by jazm49 ©

Like a kite
trusting in the hands that hold the string
I release my self
to the wonder of the wind.

Nice little poem. My favorite of jazm49's offerings for today.

Also by jazm49:
What Matters
That One Extra Step
Found
Treasures

----------

Release Let Go
by Du Lac ©

Release, Let go!
Clinging with fear,
Forever to hold us here.
I say, release, let go!

I am the summer,
Green and lush,
Rich with life,
No need to rush!

I like the repetition of Release Let Go, and the rhyme works well.

----------

breaking
by catastrophe ©

Nice poem. Too few words to offer an excerpt.

----------

Married to the Road
by Aife ©

Toy bows and arrows,
baseballs and barbie dolls.
Remnants of a busy day.
Sweet, tiny voices
giggling in darkness,
then hush! silent sleep.

Aife share's her life with us in this poem. Give this one a read.

----------

A Bloody Tuesday
by obliteratedinnocence ©

First the outside of her thigh
A clean short slash.
If anyone asks, she bumped into the desk.
Second the palm of her hand
A small pin prick
If anyone asks, it was a thumb tack.
Third her upper arm
A slash a bit longer then the one on her thigh.
If anyone asks, Lord Raymonds cat did it.

Earlier, I mentioned obliteratedinnocence's poem Strangers. I saw something, just something, in it. Now, reading this poem, I know that I saw a poet who I want to keep an eye on. I look forward to more.

----------

Okay, I mentioned as many as possible. I hope I didn't skip over anyone. Also, be sure to check out uncle pervy. His poems are grouped together at the bottom of the new poems list. You may find something you like.

So modest, retiring, and too bashful to mention her own writings, Wicked Eve gifts us with two offerings today.

transcendental lay - A rare "5"; an erotica poem on which all wanna'be writers of the genre should go to school.

And Yellow Pining a tribute to the cause of a recent power-loss I believe.

Both are very readable Evie, but my favorite is the erotic since quality and freshness is rare in that forum.



(Did I say it right, WE?)

A-M-R

My favorite of today, and there are some good poems out there, is denis hale's Of Death Tolls And Drum Rolls.

A typical hale juxtuposition of great contrast, denis switches from cynical surfeit of the mundane (for denis) world to the horror of tragedy and back and forth again.

A Must Read !

Wednesday New Poems

hey ya'll, its me in for neo since he is still on his trip, or thereabouts, who knows, I just hope he's having a great time, miss you cajun baby

New Poems

Both far away and near by steve porter. This poem could use some concrete ideas to get my imagination going, but I do enjoy steves style and lovely way of spinning a thought in all directions and closing them neatly into one sild thought.

Paris Blues by Angeline. I love anges poetry, but I rarely understand jazz refs and now she throws what seems like old movies at me , and I feel lost and silly. This is a lovely poem, even though, this is a good example of the quality of the reader vs quality of poet, and I have failed. Read this one, its great


Of Death Tolls and Drum Rolls by denis hale. Denis writes, with his unique wonder of a voice and those one of a kind descriptions. It is just sad that there was a reason to write this one, excellent work Denis.


Marbled Desire] by WickedEve. a short one, and intriguing poem, as the prior comments claimed they had to look up a couple of words, it is worth doing so. Lovely Eve ps, Happy Birthday

Sasebo 1970 by elbiscayne. My Dad was in the navy, this poet was in a submarine. He writes about a fond memory and I truly enjoyed this poet, It brought a little tear to my eye. Good work elbiscayne, thanks for sharing

also check out his POckets, it tells a story and feels very political to me, worth a read.



bve back in a bit, hubbys waiting on dinner

Reltne's Readings

Today I found three poems by three relatively new/unfamiliar poets that I think worth mentioning.

One Moment by hotti is the first I will mention. I commented: "An interesting poem; placing thoughts of an entire life within a glance between strangers, or it could be real and the entirety of life is but a moment's glance. This poem has a nice double layer possibility of meaning.

Some of the central part's expressions are unexpected and good (particularly the mushroom caps), but some of the 'thoughts' are written in fairly trite phrases. I think this poem could be made more enticing if you rewrote the more common 'thoughts' using fresher words."
While this poem can certainly be improved (I suggest that the author put it aside for awhile and then come back to it with a fresh eye.), I am greatly intrigued by the concept/premise. Go read it and see what you think. - This is my favorite of the three I mention because of the potential inherent in the concept.

The second of today's poems that I want to bring to your attention is jagged rock winter by seranade
sack's comments on this one are what I was going to say until he posted first.
Some strong images and some simple errors. Keep an eye on this poet.

My third reading recommendation is Woman (The Poem) by indian_stallion This is the writer's first poem posted on Lit.
I left a comment, but don't see it now. I basically agreed with Tathagata's comment, but I stated that the poem could be improved with a change in format towards strophes and away from paragraphs. - I will not comment on any future works of this poster.

That's three from me, in a YDD way, my limit for the day.

2 4 12 31 04

In the poems posted so far today, I found work by two new poets that I think worth mentioning.

Spring Cleaning is the first poetry submission on Literotica by wetkadence. There are some very pleasing lines in this erotic poem.

But I won’t let you move,
I want to trace your love handles

with my pen and sketch your
exhaustion with my words.

. . .

and I sit up long into the night


watching the bright green numbers
on the alarm, hoping the hours

pass by quickly
. . .

Click to expand...

Sure, it can be tightened up, but it already shows some strong word talent worth developing. I look forward to watching this poet grow. Go read it and see what you think.

*****

My second choice of the day is K.C. Crystal Run 010298 by elbiscayne.

Just look at how this one starts:

the joker and old timer,
me and elbiscayne,
pat and ducks were drivin' backup,
february in the rain.

its the story of the ending
to the k.c. show of shows,
a flesh and road king lust,
fuckin' glad it didn't snow."
. . .

Click to expand...

This poet has been contributing to the poetry stash here at Lit. for only four days. True, this poem is a little uneven at places, and I had to go back and read the title again to make some of it come into focus, but this is good work! It reminds me a bit of someone like denis hale in rhyme, or maybe AnnaSwirls on speed. Perhaps elbiscayne is their bastard child? (That is, by the way, high praise from me!)
Anyway, go give this poem a good and thorough read!


Those are the two that I most enjoyed today. They are strong enough to make me wonder if the authors are truly new to Literotica or if they are reincarnations of poets past. Whoever, their work is most welcome on my computer screen.

Friday 12/31

Happy New Year


Wishing all at Lit and their families a happy and healthy New Year.

and now on with the gobbledy gook


Asia - Wicked Eve

In her own minimalist way Eve says what we all feel about the tragic events of this past week.

How dare I cry from here--
tears drawn by distant image.

Click to expand...

That really says it all
a must read.

The Delight of Him - herecomestherain

this is a very sexy poem, with some great language

To kneel and bend before him
Forward, obvious, confident little cunt
To show him, to feel his eyes and hear his murmurs
Wanton and wet, his one girl show
Like a dog really, like a provocative little bitch

Click to expand...

What man wouldn't want this poem written for him?
There's is nothing like a woman who enjoys being sexy..and this poem shows who really has the power in the bedroom




Spring Cleaning -wetkadence

Reltne mentioned this and I'd have to agree..it's an interesting style and has some wonderful lines
it's honest and tender and heartbreaking.
Give it a read



Distant Light - hoopers

This poet submitted quite a few poems today.
a word of advice,,try and keep the submissions to 1 or 2 at a time.
any more than that and it's hard to judge each one on it own merit.

This poem is short and to the point and has an interesting twist to it


Reltne also mentioned
K.C.Crystal Run 101298 - elbiscayne
which has some nice writing but goes on a bit to long for me.
tightened up it would be a wonderful " on the road" piece.


That's it for me for today
read them , vote, comment, mention one that you like
we all need feedback

Hope everyone has a safe and happy new year

This is a year for poetry
thank you and Happy New Year!

2 4 01 01 05

Here are a couple from two Literotica veterans that I would bring to your attention today.

The first is complex but fun word-play poem by RisiaSkye entitled trance substantiation .
This poem can be just a fun read looking for all the word play, or it may be a poetic Rubic Cube that needs to be twisted until the meaning suddenly pops out at you. - However, I think that there is more than one solution to this work. (It is certainly not a poem that is easier to read than a story. )

Set some time aside to go read it and have fun!

*********
The second poem is for y. by twelveoone.
I find the metre a little rough and I know the subject would comment on that since the writer uses rhyme, but at least I find no spelling nor syntactical errors, and that would have made her happy.
This work is good, but not great as a poem, but it is a tribute and it is heartfelt.

Thank you for sharing it.

Tuesday


Playing In The Sand

Better Than an E

Memory Fails
by Angeline ©

excerpt:
I watched Mama sit by the grate
on her footstool, a dish towel
in her hands. She sat waiting,
like a Semitic Cinderella
with her toes pointed inward,
facing each other like signposts,
directing generations toward us:
grandfather, uncles, sister, me.

I think that chair was blue.

This is poetry. It simply must be read.

More Tuesday

Maria gives us Dark Shine. I'm not completely sure what's going on, but that's fine. This poem has a dark, superstitious, folktale sort of atmosphere that makes it a pleasure to read.

from precarious perch, their talons hooked
on dim and fickle moonbeams.

I am
by Jenna Grey ©

I am
the steadfastness of Conifer,
ever green in Winter.
The nearly naked,
newly budded
White Birch
of Spring.
The sensual
sway of
Willow,
dipping down
in the heat of Summer.

This is a nice, smooth, quick read. Wonderful flow of words. Make sure to check out the entire poem and leave comments.

Speed Run
by elbiscayne ©

Joker and I were Sturgis bound;
meet fellow brothers, scorned.
Deciding on a speed run,
