Cupiditas Mundi xxxv

Once my temptress
And my soul

Stitched from the one
Fabric

A harlot
With dominion

That extends
Beyond the frontiers

Of her sex

My Dear Friend,

Your title is reflective of part of your mind; logical and orderly. The language usage is inspired and pristine. the rhythm is graceful and it is not bogged down, very fluid. I much enjoyed the theme. I enjoyed this poem from start to finish, classy to be sure!

love, Cat

Hi Dear Cat

Was thinking of Empress Messalina as that’s the field of my studies lately. There’s the complete cycle available to read on All Poetry and I’ll continue building on that till I’m bored. It means more than words that you enjoyed this. The title is of course Latin meaning roughly Lust of the World. I’m enjoying the historical elements though Roman myth too xxx
