Lipstick On Your Collar

For a short piece this poem speaks volumes. I just loved the whole thing, it was a treat. I loved the eroticism of the first half of the poem, especially these lines

'I know they climbed
the ladders of her tights,
drawn to her pastel-pink flower'

they are full of passion, but as the mood of the poem changes in the second half also with powerful lines such as this

'and her mascara has left
faded bruises on your neck.'

...it develops into a fully mature and beautifully crafted timeline captured in such a short piece. This is the kind of work any poet would be thrilled to produce. Well done.

Love, Nathan.

Thank you so much for such an indepth review Nathan! I really appreciate it :)

An impassioned write, Magic. Nathan has done such a marvellous review, as you quite rightly point out, so there is nothing I can add except to endorse his sentiment. "This is the kind of work any poet would be thrilled to produce. Well done."

I pick holes in your story
like a pneumatic drill
and tenderly rearrange
your body to resemble
an explosion in an abattoir.
You can't sleep with her again tonight.

Sorry, couldn't resist!

A most enjoyable poem. More, please. :0)

Thanks FTSE100! I love your parody - that was the underlying feel of the poem :)

And thanks Tina for another splendid review.
