I've learned that I can't even write in couplets,
I wanted twins and wound up with sex tuplettes.

He turned to leave politely at her door.
She kissed him, moved him back. He's back for more.

Some ladies still appreciate a certain kind of fellow
Whose passion is exuberance mixed with meekness, mild and mellow

BTW, Frank, thanks for your comment on my Perseid Promise poem over on MET.
I am thanking you here so as not to needlessly bump it back up.

A Judas Kiss


The ocean wind's a kiss of promise to the mariner:
a harlot's gesture which the fool accepts as his alone.

Lured by crestless swells he tumbled to her furrow: she sucked
his strength and left him resting, breathless on her salt-stained bed.

A malcontent relies on a red herring
to spoil the fun of those who came for merrying


This was supposed to have been a thread of sensual couplets, wasn't it? I seem to have been knocked off track by a UFO

A couplet's such a strait-laced thing;
Can't we go straight to coupling?

There is no legal way for them to wed,
But that won't keep them off the wedding bed.

Anne, any ideas for a new challenge? What this taught me is that I don't really know what "sensual" is.
