Well there is nothing vulgar about this hot and passionate piece of poetry. In fact it is written so well, my toes curled. Now that is taking Jazz to a new level. Such an appropriate poem for such a lady as she was...so sultry and passionate.

    agreed - I think the idea is that they feel so damned bad they take your mind off everything else!

Oh my goodness! It is late at night and I am really thinking about waking up my wife and trying to act out this hot poem I just read. On second thought I 'd better not even try. I'm afraid that my best days are behind me and I would only wind up embarrassing myself and disappointing her. It is a great romantic and scintillating poem though. It has an old man wishing for younger days. Outstanding!

Oh wow, girl, you certainly excel in passionate love poems and bravo for your much deserving win. This is awesome to rad aloud--musical with jazz elements and superb random internal rhyming perfectly timed for bluesy cadence. Superb tone, imagery, pohrasing and style. Very original and dramatic. I can HEAr it read aloud even when reading it silently!

Bravo bravo! You go!

Favorite lines

you look up at me
in faint surprise
as my disguise is blown
and notes of black and white
are thrown, like confetti of desire

Wow.

Kudos.

Love,
rd

*pant pant pant*

Is it just me or is it hot in here?

Damn, Sharyn, you've a hell of a way with words. I don't do much reviewing these days, but I'm definitely adding you to my fan list. This is seriously good stuff, and I see I don't need to say "good luck in the contest" - I can say instead I'm not at ALL surprised you won, so congratulations!

So it's the clarinet that's glowing, eh? Never heard it called that before...

Has anyone thought that's a picture of Marilyn yet? ;) I'm glad you used it; I just had a look at the Wiki article about Jean Harlow and she's much more interesting than the old tales about her would suggest.

Louise :)

    Actually I was looking for Jean Harlow and Marilyn popped up! (Jean has a little double chin in her sexiest photos, so marilyn won by a touch!) thx so much my dears - I'll return the favor - and off to the cold shower with you (both)!

Bogey and Bacall..nah..the poem said a lot without them, LOL. As usual the contest got rules. But you wrote without the vulgar but hinges on the vulgar, there was heat and smoke in the tavern or somewhere, where eyes can meet and the desires are satisfy by way of a fantasy...and the not yet, not, not..is getting on the readers nerve..when is it going to happen? LOL.
And when it happened finally "for tonight's sublime and yes -it's time". I was asked to use the word ' sublime' for 'Ode to Vincent van Gogh' poem to describe his paintings...now I know why they said "not yet, not yet..not yet..and by the time Vincent was dead..he was still waiting.
Your hero did not went away satisfied though cos there is a BAD TWIST. This guy had been playing all the scenes in his music and his mind..it was just a figment of his imagination. No he is not big time having a real lady there, my friend.
I concluded this way to give the poem the passionate love as spoken by his music and the very vivid lady in his mind that the music serenades to only. Good vision and the poem simple as a b c to appreciate. Cheers Ritchie.

    oooh what a pessimist! :) Sharyn

    LOL. As a visionary poet, we must not limit the obvious to be just the obvious, my dear. "Sometimes the obvious can be most misleading" - remember Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? Sometimes the pessimist is smarter than the optimist when it comes to living a life here, LOL. Cheers from cheesszzky Ritchie.
    P.S. I hope my conclusion of the ending is visionary enough for this truly passionate exquisite poem. LOL.

That was beautiful.
For some reason I heard the start or Rhapsody in Blue
just the beginning with the clarinet.
Nothing is more sultry than Marilyn
and I'm stating to think the next great
thing is you.
You've got soul baby.
