Smiles:) Barbara Incredible writing, has me reeling. "endorphins agree" pain from love I presume starts this piece, I think. Am I right or wrong as wrong can be. LOL Flows perfectly.

I can smell your readiness it’s clouding my good judgement I really love these lines - highly expressive. You know that you have been communicated to when there is an inner stirring. Take care ... Leonard

Better keep her at bay, then. Interesting write, Richard. ~Jess K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ "Everyone needs to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer!" ~ "Your inferiority complex is better than mine!"

Some sexual tension that needs its outlet,I think you should address this ,Richard,lol,Great write,you got a rise out of me,lol,for i can relate, Where power corrupts,poetry cleanses.

Love that line reminds me of times distant when I was younger and more stupid Now Im just weathered and tired and more honed we are settled here by our fires but sometimes Im still restless and I growl in my sleep

Woooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee .... someone needs a shower , or maybe thats me ? loved it richard two stanzas that packed a punch ... Awesome work .... Love Jayne x x Sorry I am late to this party must have been down for the count (hug)

is raised (or at least made so obvious this horse can see it), but an answer isn't offered. It's inconclusive. You have eight great lines here---and it IS perfectly permissible for others to leave it at this point, saying only "Hot stuff, Richard, like, really hot"---but I WANT MORE! The tension between animal impulse and rational constraints is made almost too palpable. The lines you have could hardly be more effective at making the reader feel (or, more likely, remember) that tension. What are you, some kind of TEASE? But I mark that you use eight lines for this small poetic miracle, and I think: "Oh, wow, he could have added six lines to explain how he resolves the situation, and then he'd have something like a sonnet, with an unrestricted rhyme scheme. How cool that'd be!" And then I think, "Maybe I can talk him into dropping the other shoe here." Perry
