I won't complain, but I thought you had to have at least 10 votes to be nominated? Eye Chart only has 5. Hint, Hint, Hint!Lauren.Hynde said:Can anyone remember this ever happening? All the poetry category nominee's this month are regular posters at the boards!
Congratulations!

I know what you mean. My nominated erotic poem isn't very erotic either, but has sex on it, so what the hell. Time to rise the standards anyway.perks said:is that legal?

, which rocked...and perks, your poem, is so fucking intense, made me feel dirty when I read it and you know I wouldve voted you a 10 if it were possible
into the minds of men, over the past few years...( they know this, and I have a few that will tell me all kinds of good stuff..thanks guys!!!)
Rats! Our secrets are out (except for the average Lit. poet who loves as dirty and graphic sex as possible)!Maria2394 said:Lauren and Perks,
this is only my opinion, of course, but concerning your nominations that you both consider to not be very erotic content laden, well, I have been actively delving
my purpose in this, is that while being a freak when it comes to wanting to understand how people think, is basically a desire to know how men think and what they consider to be erotic is not always what we women percieve it to be
i think its like the idea that if you leave something to the imagination, they get even more turned on and as for the poetry, language in motion, when it flows and has a purpose, ( like angelines, Giving Thanks and perks midtown addict) is sexual to me... when I said midtown addict made me feel dirty, I meant in an emotionally euphoric way, I felt for you, you took me there and let me see your world...thank you

Seriously, it rawks.
Maria, I understand what you're saying, but in this case, I think it's more of the opposite. In my poem in particular, Stylization, I have very graphic language describing sexual intercourse, and that's why I submitted it under Erotic. But the real drive of the poem isn't sex. That's just the backdrop against which the message of the poem is placed. I really thought about submitting it as non-Erotic, since it was not devised to arouse.
The same thing with Perks's poem. Sure, there's sex in it, but it's not really what the poem is about...
