Juliet Ligon Poet Free verse

Goosebumps

Hard-working, calloused hands 
firmly imprint ridges upon my back.
Your sandpaper face, like a fine file, 
smooths against my neck gently.
Like your rugged bristle terrain, 
my arm hairs stand erect.

Andrea Dietrich November 10, 2019 at 7:58 PM I will post it sometime this week (hopefully before it closes. haha) my response to what you said below. Juliet Ligon November 11, 2019 at 12:12 AM Okay. I look forward to it.

Silent One November 9, 2019 at 5:23 PM you give me goosebumps... nice poem.. Juliet Ligon November 11, 2019 at 12:11 AM Thanks, Silent One.

Andrea Dietrich November 8, 2019 at 9:13 PM wow, I love how you did your goosebumps poem. I have not seen anyone yet write on the thing that gives them to ME (and it's such a common thing.) I better get going on mine!! Juliet Ligon November 8, 2019 at 10:33 PM Thanks, Andrea. Besides personality, these are the two sexiest things about my man --- his hands and when he neglects to shave for a few days. I'm curious what your common goosebumps theme is. I'll be back to read it.
