We plunge cool cotton ... Swimming sheets and each other, Your fair flesh, my deep water. I drown in your craving ... You swoon, wrapped in ribboned moonlight. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Second Edition Of Wayra" Poetry Contest, Nette Onclaud, Judge & Sponsor. (This is a WAYRA, a South American five-line verse, [pentastich], with syllable counts of 5, 7, 7, 6, 8, unrhymed. Syllables counted at HowManySyllables.com. Inspired by the image above).
