Sonnet to the Well-formed Derriere
Sonnet to the Well-formed Derriere
I won’t encumber my frail mind with lies,
and therefore tell you nothing but the truth:
a woman’s shape does often catch my eyes
as they might rest on her . . . (I’m so uncouth!)
I woo my damsel with a tush so grand,
and peek beneath her flowing petticoat
in hope to see much more than just my hand--
I love the fullness I can’t help but note.
Such lustful feelings are in me now stirr'd
And I defy the cretin who would assert
that roundness does no longer suit a skirt
and flatter bottoms are these days preferred.
So let me now my preference declare:
It’s hard to beat a well-formed derriere!

"Modern Poetry" by @Dennis the Menace
"I totally agree with your first paragraph in its entirety. I feel that poems, that had required some forethought, are mostly ignored, and that's why I refrain from posting here. Ali" -

"I guess that people are more sophisticated these days. They watch shows like "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" and "Catfish." Lol. Oh well, I guess whatever floats your boat. ~ Geezer. ." -

on A Pastoral Symphony from @Eumolpus
"Composing poems about being in the glory of nature and just feeling at peace...that's tough. Much easier to tackle death and shipwrecks. So I appreciate the effort to share the moment. As Weirdelf has taught me, we can…" -

on A Pastoral Symphony from @scribbler
"Sounds like a soothing place to be. Now...bright-golden....this seems to me a bit too much imagery. Perhaps either choose one or the other or find a single word that describes both. Enjoyed the garden.....stan" -

"SCHOOL DOES NOT EXPAND OUR HORIZON" by @Cyjesunifemi
"Those few examples tout the accomplishments of only a very few men. The illiteracy rate ran very high during Ben Franklin's days, and is on the rise again, thanks to the phonetic language used in texting, etc. Two-thous…" -

"A man of restraint" by @jane210660
"a wonderful portrait of a man short of words but with his heart filled with love and consideration for his lifelong partner. The ending is especially sad and touching. Much adored. Ali" -

on E-mailing my OLD friend, the Roman poet Catullus (Revised) from @Rhiannon1010
"As an English major, I've only ever encountered Catullus under the sterile fluorescent lights of the classroom. This is a fresh and playful take on his work that brings much-needed life to his passionate poems." -

"Moon Walking... Historical Figure [for June contest]" by @Geezer
"yes, those guys were the bravest, and it's good to read your tribute to those that rode those dangerous buckets. Nice flow to it--like a stream-lined rocket in flight. Much liked--no nits. Ali" -

"Mother Love" by @Keith Logan
"your brief poem is really quite touching. My mom died 55 years ago, and I never saw her in her final hours due to my obligation to Uncle Sam. A fine tribute to your mom. Ali" -
