Awakening
Awakening
Rosebud of desire
blooming
hotly centered
in spirited passion
awaking from her dream
still looming
languidly
stretching dainty limbs
silky laughter
on soft full lips
the warmth of her voice
fills him
with all the vibrations
echoing of
strains of silken laughter

Cat,
It is a beautiful write, but for me I think it needs something more that I can sink my teeth into. the illustrations are indeed incredible, but the aliteration is not what I've been use too from you. that's just me sweetie, I like getting lost in both the words and imagery and few do it as good as you.
my favorite lines that moved me:
"silky laughter
on soft full lips
the warmth of her voice
fills him
with all the vibrations
echoing of
strains of silken laughter"

Dear Judy,
Thank you for your suggestion, but I think I won't rush into making a change, yet. Steve (my husband) said he likes that line, when I consulted him. I'll wait until I get a few more opinions. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated and welcomed.
love, Cat

Very sensuous
The rose still dripping her gown
onto the green sward
has awoken and is blooming
with colour and flare
that strikes velvet kisses on our cheeks.
silken laughter and "silky laughter on soft full lips"...I can't take,
its "too much tea." For me anyway.
Could be fiery centred judyanne?

mrs candlewitch, i like this one, for the use of words and imagery create a nice short little snapshot film in my mind..like a gif. I like the first lines
Rosebud of desire
blooming
hotly centered
in spirited passion
awaking from her dream

As usual off the track it's always loved
the ecstasy expressed by rose buds
desires unfurling in the morning dew,
the lovers eyes await for her silkiness true
and
caresses the sweetest lips
how I wish we all do
to express a pint of happiness
a burning desire at the warmest mornings welcome.
I ain't any poetic material,
but dare to induce pearls of wisdom,
hope in a friendly way you will take it
As you always do.
