What Is A Kiss

Ok everyone...my first contest and I'm so excited.  I've been waiting to win enough points to host one.  Thanks to Slayer who awarded me two gold winners, I am now able to pay it forward.

I would like to read poems written about kissing. What a kiss means to you. We all love them and need them...tell me how much and why!  Give me your most sensual thoughts on the subject...no limits, no restrictions on writing style.  Just write and have fun.  I have added a pic, for inspiration, but it doesn't have to be your prompt.  The word KISS should be enough to get the inspiration juices flowing.

 

 

All the normal rules apply. Prewrites are allowed.

Please no XX rated.

No bashing other writers.

Reservations are accepted...so reserve a spot NOW!!

    I can see the response is almost overwhelming. I am impressed. I have several on a kiss, deeply sensual and definitly at least an R rating. I am drawn to write one that is new. The competition here is phenomenal. Best of luck, my friend in the judging.
    Love,
    Tom B.
