Top 10 in the Poetry List
Checking in at the top. No biggie, let's
just see what we have got! :)

1. Holding on by Robski
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=36420

I liked this poem. Why? Because it speaks of
moving on, seeing the sunshine, letting go of the
past and moving on. It is simple but true for me.
I did feel that the lack of continuous rhyme did let
this poem down though.
<snip>
The memories finally fade from my mind,
To the heartache I shall now become blind,
I shall never again live in fear,
Block out the truth; shed no more tears,"
(I shall not go on living in my fears? Might be better)
<snip>
"I shall no longer turn away and run,
I know that I can and will overcome,
I’m stronger now than ever before,
All of my troubles I banish out of the door,"

2. One love by Robski
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=36419

Simple poem, sad and much meaning in a few words.

3. Cloud dancing by Lenti
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=41379

I really liked this poem.

"Slip your earthly tethers my love
And
Spread your wings to soar into the sky
I wait for you there"

*sigh* If one could simply be free of our bodies and fly. Sounds good to me as long as I can return to the Earth every now and then! I loved lenti's use of words. The format of the poem was interesting to. Would love to know why it has been written
the way it has.

4. Under your star by Lenny
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=39348

I liked this poem too. Short but well written.

"Noiseless city pauses as wind whispers abate"

Very clever. "A silent city?" Must be late at night/ the wee
hours of the morning."Wind whispers abate"? A windy night but now all is still.

Few words written but many meant. I could take a few tips from this poet! :)

5. Musings#2 by Lenny
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=40024

These musings of Lenny's need only to be commented on once.
A very short musing. I have these myself occassionally. Again I say few words, much meaning.

"Mists of one's youth pass,
Tears of today linger on,
'morrow brings one hope. "

6. Musings#1 By Lenny
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=40023

7. In my hands by Lenny
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=39349

I liked this poem but felt the lack of capitals detracted from the words.

"in my hands, i hold out my heart
to one as wonderful as you. "

8. Love dreamer by Lenti
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=41081

Wow! I really liked this one. Images of her lover in my mind.
Bravo!

9. Musings#5 by Lenny

10. Bitter end by RisiaSkye
http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=36979

Whoa, RisiaSkye has a great way with words. I feel the hurt. *ow*

"Folding, collapsing, crumbling inside
I'm choking, I tell you,
on your secrets and lies."

I have been here, too many times.

I really enjoyed my perusal of today's top list.
And will be back for more. :)
 
Debbie--thanks for the mention and your kind words. I haven't been around this forum for weeks, and this was the first thing I saw when I came back. My sincere gratitude. ~:rose~

I too enjoyed most of the current list, and have voted accordingly. Now, the rest of y'all--get out there and vote, eh? ;)

Best,
RS

All right....quit twisting my arm...I went and voted...

heh... ;)
I was twisting your arm? Damn I was aiming
somewhere else! :D Just kidding. Thanks for the votes.
Hope you enjoyed the reading as well. :)

RisiaSkye, you are very welcome.
Honesty is always the best policy. :)
 
Congratulations to the top 10 folks

While we don't write for popularity, it is always good to be recognized for our efforts.

Kudos, poets.

Peace,

daughter
 
debbie sweetie, I like your top 10 list. It gives more poets a shot at being recognized for their for their poetic efforts than the #1 list did.

I definitely liked the top 10 list. All the poems were well deserving. My faves had to be Lenny's "musings" short and to the point :)

Problems

Not sure what you mean, PU, but...

The problem with a top 10 list, bottom 10 list or middle 10 list is that the list doesn't change that much or that often. Mostly, the same few titles drift around for months at a time, and then one day another one or two will join them at the top, bottom or middle until they settle somewhere.

So, it's not a list you can create everyday, just once in a while.

Without the musings, the thread would just be dormant most of the time (with only top 10 updates).

Is that what you were thinking, PU?
 
Quote, by daughter,
"While we don't write for popularity, it is always good to be recognized for our efforts. "
I agree with you completely. I started this thread not as
a 'nah nah nah nah, who's on the top list.'
For me it is interesting to see what the readers are voting on, just a point of interest for me.


I agree with JUDO, the top list does not change too often.


Pleasureu, you are not a wet blanket. :) You are giving your opinion.
I occassionally write musings.

"When one is troubled,
silence is not peace
but words unpsoken"

There are a few new poems that have reached the toplist.


1 Cloud Dancing by lenti
(already mentioned)
2 Of love by lenti

This poem speaks of love.
"Like the wings of a humming bird
The noise of love whirls with-in "

I thought these two lines were very clever.
Remember how fast one's heart seems to beat
when you think/thought of your love. Fast like
humming birds wings, but your heart seemed to be pounding
so loud that you were worried others could hear it? :)
I enjoyed this poem.

3 Taste me by SummerRose

What can I say without sounding biased? SummerRose is
sensually sweet; a sinful delight. :)
As for her poem? She makes one hungry for her body
with her words. Taste me is an erotic tempting little
morsel. :)

4 One love by Robski

5 Love dreamer by lenti

6 Sex with a twist by littlemissblair

The title says it well.

"Suddenly, her change of dress
suggested that she knew
I was hurting
from her flirting
tits and thighs in view. "

You won't be disappointed reading this
little hottie's poem. :)

7 My brother's wife by littlemissblair

I liked this poem but found that the lack of continuous rhyme throughout the poem did detract from it a little.

"Full pouty lips, Bridgit Bardot,
a tongue magnet hole
I suckled her spit.

My favourite lines. :)

"Abandoned etiquette, thighs spread wide,
nothing to hide
just pure wanton lust."

9 Holding on by Robski

10 Restraining my love by Brandy Chase

I liked this poem, the rhyming wasn't consistent all
the way through but this didn't detract completely from
the charm of the poem. I felt it was from the heart.

"The gleam in your eyes,
when you smile that way,
the swell of your breast,
and how your hips sway. "
