Woman Is Only My Slave Name

Woman is only my slave name

I am much more

I am your worst nightmare

Or your best friend

I'll give you my whole branded mind

Or just a piece

But with a light touch of your tongue

running from my toes to my ears..

lingering a little longer

in the blue petals in between

I will say more in a sigh

Could you put that in a blender and ship it? Is there a renewal fee? I love the part about the "blue petals in between" Now is that cobalt or ultra-marine? That title is just delicious; does it come in any other flavors like butter-brickle or almond crunch? Oh when you mail it; skip the burnt hamburger. I like well done, but I'm not fond of burnt. Too much of the barbecue in it for this gladiator. Now that's one long tongue and one well spoken of here; is that from a giraffe by any chance? Personally I like tongue boiled and with horseradish as well. It's great in a sandwich, the Earl told me 'bout it. I have my own bread. This is great sounding stuff. Send it to the Colosseum in Rome for William Spearpoint. This is a class act like a Dagwood and I can dig it. A Poet friend// RH Peat

Ah! Imagery to die for and I sigh that says it all! A double sided coin with the gold head winning over a grim tail.

The paradox that is woman . . . at least to us men. You really should submit this to some contests, it's as good as anything I've read in a long time.

This was better than Lincoln's Gettysburgh Address ! HAH (~;.........This impessive & provicative work touches on multi-emotional reaction,....Emancipation, Procuration & Sensual Conotation...The structural movement is smooth, crisp, and tightly wovwn...and the piece overall... a pleasure of a read ! JoAnn, you've nailed down another pen-gem, young lady!\\\FjR///
