in the incandescent
indigo iris
of twilight
hangs the frangipani fragrance
of innocence spent
sapphire scintillations
alight in frivolous flickers
igniting ecstatic eruptions
of
aphrodisia

Smokey and brilliant...
These words wrap themselves around me
as I read...I absolutely adore the use
of color and fragrance here. Blue
-
whew, this is hot - this is exactly how it feels to be infused with well, an aphrodisiac, or lust, and the after effects..lol....what the heck is a blue hour though? (excuse my ignorance)
-
this is amazing the alliteration works perfect with the piece almost hiding the expertly hidden use of assonance well done to ya girl xxx
-
SPLENDID!
I have no idea why you have made statements that your poetry is not in a league of its own. Your choice of language, the movement of your words in their presented stages, the allure...ALL encompassing, enchanting, with a flavor that forever soothes. You amaze me Sister. GRAND POETRY!
Congratulations on winning the Silver Cup. I must take time to investigate what brilliant poet on this site beat you our for the Gold! LOL
Much Love Always ♥

Your pennings never cease to amaze me. I haven't done that kind of detail work in so long, I'm starting to truly believe my muse is gone for good. This in the midst of chaos surrounding me at every turn; I will be moving (again) in another two weeks and don't think I will have access to a computer for some time. Maybe I'll just hang it up. I hardly mind that you've trumped me about fifty million times now, but I am frustrated with myself that I can't seem to get up to speed (damn writer's block!)
Despite my rambling, though, I don't think a more perfect poem could have been created for this picture. This piece is absolutely beautiful, elegant in its touches of eroticism and passion, which lay just below the surface. And that ever-growing, beautiful vocabulary... "frangipani"... (you better be glad I know what frangia are!) I'd have given you gold, twice over. Tell Tim I'm not mad at him for not doing so.
Hope all is well with you, my friend.
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora

This piece is an aphrodisiac in it's reading standing on it's own legs.Hey,silvered silken strands versed!
-
"the frangipani fragrance of innocence"...that's so beautiful and how beautifully you write blue, Mary. I remember some blue hours too and your poem made them come alive in my eyes again. This one is a class act - deep and soft and blue - and I loved it. Congrats on the trophy, Mary girl
