it just wasn't right





he told me how it felt
as i smothered the lilac
between his legs,
and i knew he'd cum around.

in the backyard we searched
our gardens for that place
were we could be found,
grinning and kissing
moans vibrating off of bearded
dandelions and opened flowers.

but we just didn’t have any time
to discover those worlds.
we knew that it just wasn’t right
because love doesn’t grow in plants,
love doesn’t grow between legs.

i kind of rushed this, but i hope it turned out ok.
critques are welcome,
and by welcomed i mean demanded.

    This was a standout. I really liked everything about it, especially how "in-your-face" the sexual references were. The ending lines were very well done.

      i'm glad you liked it. it seems pretty fifty fifty
      on how people reacted to the sex thing, odd i think.
      anywho, thanks

    The middle stanza worked the best for me -

    I will agree with some others, it was a bit too in your face for me. I suppose its just because I am used to the softer approach from you.

    i honestly like the how not-toned-down this is. i think it is great when a poet just says how it initially comes [or cums]. i just personally respect that more, when a poet is more fearless.

    i honestly would have ended it like this

    "love doesn't grow between leg plants" [a play on "egg plants"]

    just an idea, feel free to use it or discard.

    haha

    i like the poem itself, but i didn't like the ending; the last two lines. it was definitely rushed.

    but i liked your opening. the middle stanza was my favorite. your ending was my least favorite.

    overall, not bad. but i am sure we both could agree that you could have done better.

    man...it's like almost TOO sexual.
    maybe tone it down a bit? if you were going to be subtle.
