An Illusion

Missing image
Feel past this body,

skin that desires fire
might lead me
but whispers will save me.

Caress my needs,

listen
as I lay beside you
exposing so much more…

Stay,

when your mind wanders;
I have dreams
left to share.

Be,

what I fear
is only an illusion,
that I might dance in your eyes.

    Judges Critique


    Content 40%-33 points

    I love the abstractness of this piece. I wish there was a more complete narrative for it. More characterization and description of the moment and event. The ending doesn't quite flow right.

    Poetic Devices 20% 15 points

    Simple words with no metaphor or simile or alliteration. Part of it is style, very bare bones.

    Form 20% 18 points

    I like how you arranged this poem. The single words at the beginning of the stanzas promised so much. Your form has lots of erotic potential

    I think you nailed this category

    Appearance 10% 10 points
    The background color works for the black and white photo. Its grayness makes the 'vulnerable' photo stand out even more.

    This brief read

    has a powerful impact. I like the form you used and the creative concept. This is the second piece that used a more subtle form of erotica. It will be a tough piece to eval but I truly enjoy its beauty.
