You wrote about it very well. Maybe you should be expressing yourself to your sex partner. Over analyzing the act may turn you methodological. I'm not sure if that is a good thing... For I am a born-again virgin myself.

Well, good poetic form. Good flow of rhythm and rhymes. Nice work. Great.

    Thank you, sunni. Oh, it was just a silly little verse, not one to be taken seriously. I appreciate it, my friend.

I believe I have a great deal of respect for women. However, I also have certain proclivity to vulgarity and I have somewhat of a suggestive nature. Your poem falls into all of my categories of positive lust. I enjoyed your piece very much.

(Still catching up my reviewing here). So...the title of this one pretty much told me what to expect. I think I actually blushed a bit reading this. :) I have to say I like the combination of internal and end rhyme in L1 & L3 of each stanza; it adds a bit of complexity to writing it, but it adds a sort of limerick-y feel to it, which works excellently for humorous verse such as this.

    Thanks so much, Julia. It was fun to write, too, and I thought it was the perfect form for it. I nearly made it an envelope form, just to symbolize the licking, but that would have been lost on this crowd, I'm afraid. ;)

Ahh yes, the thing I miss the most about a delicious woman...her taste and the sounds she makes.

What I wouldn't do to manage a great interaction like that again...

Hmmm...my mind gears are goin now.

Thanks for the inspiration!

    Actually, Pad, I started sensing a serious undertone in some of the replies and their reviews, so I decided to break off a bit from them. I have several rogue poems finished, but perhaps I'll wait a little while before posting them...or maybe not.

    Well hey...there was a pretty big warning page, so...I figure we read at our own risk:-)
    Personally, I never feel any anger or negative stuff in these rogue poems...more a sort of 'tongue in check'(parddon the pun) humour.
    I will miss getting my buttons pushed and then laughing at both my reaction and the humour. I mean Benny Hill, The Two Ronnies and David Alan...not to mention, Carlyn, Pryer and more(all those great standup comedians) wrote stuff that would make many readers on this site blush.
    Any way, I can respect the others readers and I respect your decision to 'cool' it for a bit.(but I will miss them)
    For what it is worth, I will continue to read the Rogue...
    May you be well.

    Thank you, muezza56. I'm usually a little more innuendo-based, but I did extend it a bit on this one. Thank you!

Great ABCB writing. Rhymes are great and not forced. But in something this playful, it could have been forced and still worked. I thought the poem was fun and you seem to have play writing it. Didn't think you needed all that warning. I think the "F" the "C" "Pu**y" to describe sex and sex organs would have required such a warning. But not this poem. Not in my opinion.

    Thanks so much, amahra. My perfectionism won't let me force one for the sake of getting it out there, so I appreciate your kind review. You're probably right about the warning, but even with it I caught some flak on this one.

I think you should get Ed Grimley to read this when you become famous. It would be perfect for him. LOL. This was an all in fun poem. A little on the bawdy side but not over the top. A lot of puns and close calls. Funny stuff.

    What a GREAT idea! Thanks so much. This was about as openly bawdy as my work will get, and I may have gone just a stitch over what I wanted to. I appreciate the great review.

this is very well written, marillion, I blushed as I read it but I couldn't stop myself. I won't be posting a reply to this one, but my other replies have gotten best status so I appreciate your inspiration to get me out of my comfort zone.

    That means a lot to me, sweetwoodjax. If I've gotten a single Muse motivated, it's been worth it to me, and I'm glad you joined in. I'll keep the fight going as long as they like, but I'm also looking forward to sharing what I would hope is work with a much more important message. Thank you.

Wish I had a six left. This is so clever and amusing. I love the play on Cunning Linguist. It may annoy a few female readers especially "There's not a flaw, and you're in awe
(I know because of how you stare),
And though you hate to take my bait,
You'll doff your bra and underwear.

Well done on perfect rhymes and skilful construction of an excellent poem.

    Thank you very much, Liz. Oh yes, they've been clucking about it, but they always come back for more, and I always have more to give them. It's all in good fun, this Rogue vs. Hen battle. I appreciate your observant and great review.
