Intimacy

intimacy
strangers naked in a room
Straddling, eyes glazed,Weight pressed
Entering your body space, Exploring crevices and nooks
Exploding in your head or your horizon

intimacy
Twenty something German woman
talking about threesomes
To a total stranger
And suggesting ........what was she suggesting ?

intimacy
A glance in passing, a feel, a smell
A thought, a caress,
Words not spoken ,
Wonderful warm wetness when he has gone

Not with her ...no

But I have her mobile and the mobile of the guy who invited me to an orgy.
Rationality is prevailing at the moment xxx

lawyer helper

long ago I met a friend I made
who was at a hospice in a city
I dwelt in
He worked for laywers in the city
got the virus and came north
and would stand in the little
convenience store arguing with
the owner..... I ended up and my
then ex made him our friend
We were both smart and he also
and I would banter with him mentally
One year they were breaking down
the carnival..the neon
the workers and the park forest all
lit up at night quiet and surreal
He probably was cruising and came
and met up with us standing and
we watched them work for a spell
..

Your poetry is unique..most never write
of their life..or style of life
Neo is for adults mostly

I like your openess
and poetic view
of something that
most would not
look upon

Thank You

i see you are very bold

you will turn i see
men and women
to warmth
even when freezing cold

I am equally sexually oriented
but many want me to unfold
but 'tis beyond me
as I'm a poetically
sensitive ,lonely soul...

Haiku

When one is bold tragedy may emerge
Sexuality is personal
Be comfortable with how you act

Haiku poems date from 9th century Japan to the present day. Haiku is more than a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence.

Haiku is

7 5 7
i was told
and
it dealt more with nature
is it so ???

''so be bold if you will
all will honey till
never mind the grind they give'

does this qualify as a haiku
I wonder

I love your courageous and frank approach

Without being formal you use poetic sound wonderfully.

Sexual intimacy in groups? That is a minefield I explored through the '70s and '80s and with extremely diverse results ranging from life-long bonding to everyone getting a dose and being kinda miffed.

Good to see that sex in poems

Good to see that sex in poems gets the most responses...odd that! Anyway I have always believed that poetry IS the place to explore our lives, to shock or move people. I like this - it's not crude, just captures that moment. And has an erotic edge, of course!

And the others except Nigella which isn't a related theme

I love this website

There is instant connection and frankness. I appreciate everything you said. The strange thing is that I came to it through looking up Internet lothario trying to find out whether a man I was with was a known lothario- Sue b 's poem I think? And homed in on it and it is a fantastic place to be.
The critique especially is very nice because you have so many reviewers giving honest opinions
Thank you
