A very beautiful, passionate poem. Color choice heightens the mood. Although the deeper blue makes it a little difficult to read, but lighter font would rob the emotion.
Best wishes
Mary

What a fantastic picture of the young girl with the steaming cup of coffee or tea or hot chocolate, Gypsy. Your words were great with the response in one tanka and the reply in another. Blessed Be n Hugs!

There certainly is a lot of passion here! (I was a little scared about the bites as that reminded me of mosquitoes!) Great use of alliteration and your colorful presentation is always a pleasure to read!

    In Spain, we give little love bites to babies and we say, "ahi que rico, que estas para comerte (you are so sweet I could eat you) if you try Google translator it wont work. I tried. LoL.

    you have to be Spanish to get it. LoL

    Which reminds me, my grandson will ask (voice) the phone Alexa what ever he wants to know. It's so cute to watch.

    Thank you very much, big sister, it's always a delight to hear from you.

I like your Somonka poem -good picture presentation- theme is interesting- using suggestive metaphors describing physical contact sexual feelings and physical characteristics to paint a picture of two peoples experience and desire for one another- good job

You always have such a beautiful presentation in addition to the words themselves. The shades of blue that changed as I scrolled were really cool. I guess that adjective reveals my age. Maybe I should have said awesome? dope? No, that is too far the other way.

This is a wonderfully written SOMONKA poem. The stanzas are inviting exchanges that you worded with enticing cues. There is clear intent to harness the reader to the memories of the physical expressions of love. Your message is well stated. I like it.
