Fabric - Lace

Promises of passion,
my urgings unspoken,
a glamorous gossamer garb.
Sexy, sultry, shameless,
I'm luxurious lace:
enticing and ethereal.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 11/15/2017 12:12:00 PM Especially black lace which lends an air of romance to any woman who wears it! I loved your entry John! Congratulations on your placement! : ) Login to Reply John Michaels Date: 11/15/2017 12:49:00 PM Hi Connie. Interesting that you mention colours, because one of my draft lines concerned "shameless, shocking, scarlet" (but it had to go, unfortunately)! Thanks for your kind comments. All the best, John.

Susan Ashley Date: 11/11/2017 8:34:00 PM Wow John! This write is fantastic! I love this racy personification of lace... artistically provocative and beautifully expressed. Excellent and enjoyed. Good luck in the contest but already a winner with me! Login to Reply John Michaels Date: 11/12/2017 7:00:00 AM Thanks so much for your kind feedback - really pleased you enjoyed it. All the best, John.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/11/2017 6:04:00 PM Oh, I REALLY like this one, JOhn. I guess it's the woman in me. I go more for lace than for leather! But both are very sexy and I think this was your better choice in the contest as well. Login to Reply John Michaels Date: 11/12/2017 7:00:00 AM Thanks, Andrea. Glad you liked it (and that I made the correct choice). Kind regards, John.

Agnes Krampe Date: 11/11/2017 4:56:00 PM I don't think it matters for this personification of lace - a female poet IS not a piece of fabric any more than a male one :) And anyway, isn't that part of being a poet? One of the first thing they teach is the reader should never assume the "I" of the poem and the poet are the same. Login to Reply John Michaels Date: 11/12/2017 6:59:00 AM Thanks, Agnes... very true! Kind regards, John.

Agnes Krampe Date: 11/11/2017 7:03:00 AM Lots of associations with lace, love it. Great personification. Login to Reply John Michaels Date: 11/11/2017 7:10:00 AM Thanks, Agnes! Hopefully it doesn't matter that I'm a bloke and this is a female-PoV piece... we shall see. All the best, John.
