The Sun Is Brown

nice choice of words to fill one's mind
of sweet lust
like the line cup young pears from behind  

Why thank you, poet, I appreciate your thoughts on my work. A pleasant journey’s inspiration to you.

Jade,
Another terrific offering. Beautiful and tantalizing.
You're a terrific writer.

Thank you, Matthew. Free verse writes of mine, for me, are delicious tastes in my mind instead of my mouth. Little interludes. I’m glad you enjoyed.

"( a spill and scrub )"
... not having heard of a 'spill & scrub' as a poetic form, before reading any further my mind was already shooting off thinking it's way too early for spring-cleaning.
Now I get your drift - thanks for the gift of something new.

Thanks for your thoughts, Josh. I’m glad you shared this because, ‘spill & scrub’ is most likely not a poetic form, per say. My feeling is, like senryu is a concept in the form of haiku, then I think ‘spill & scrub’ is a
concept of free verse.

Meantime, I hope you enjoyed the write, friend.

Once again you educate me.  I had no idea what a spill and scrub is but realize this is one facet of my modus operandi.  You just crystalized it.  Thank you Jade!  This is wonderful work!

Thank you so much, my crowfly friend, for such honors. I’ve always felt if for no other reason as a result of my poetry, there are  
readers who take away having enjoyed work of mine and learned from it... it was worth that I followed my passion.

Miss Jade,

I was so taken with how the poem resolved itself:

Slowly entering      
to my roots      
While rivulets of      
black butter      
snake      
down every curve  
Tasting

That it took until just now to realize the sensuality you established from the very beginning:


It rises      
more than once  
the same day    
The second time      
melting      
Drips its warmth      
on my      
upturned face      
with eyes      
closed      

So taken am I with your entire piece, I have sent you a message expressing my truest, heartfelt reaction to my multiple times through it.

Brava! Jade, what an inspired write!

Dear Geoff, thank you, I am in receipt of your - second message - since this first one you reference. Let me just say, that, if I had planned on working on one of my new works earlier today... it seems to have slipped my mind.

I’m about to “read” your messages again. Might be a while.

Love how you tell the tale with a tongue in cheek manner which belies the wickedness of the portrait. You are an erotic poet who knows her sexual powers and how to use them.

Ah dear John...

A better way you couldn’t find,
While telling of your rapt express.
This poet of the purple kind,
  You serve with words of subtleness.
