Sensually, Erotically, Poetically
It needs to be said and instead of saying it to a hundred different people on a hundred different poems, I'll say it here one more time.
I see this often - someone writes "I touched her in a sensual fashion" or "We danced erotically" or "I wrote to him in a poetic way" .....
But, what ... does ... that ... mean?
This is only a suggestion meant for the betterment of writing:
Strike these particular words from your vocabulary as often as possible - they are too vague in their broad spectrumness to do your poetry any justice.
Make the most of the opportunity by being more specific; encourage your readers to experience a particular association with more triggering wordage.
Yes, sometimes they do work, but usually when there is enough context involved.
"His salacious tongue in my virgin ear was a sensual overload"
"Her poetic use of spoken words aroused my diction into action"
"This diverse collection of artwork was an orgy of erotica"
