Hesitant Recoil

For this contest I’m asked to abide by the rules

and thus I sit and pen my thoughts obediently

but cannot check the renegade’s sweet rebellion


Limit cussing and cursing:
	
               however I am told that people who swear are profound not profane


No erotic poetry:
	
               but once Eros is tamed Thanatos prevails says a slippery Freudian


New poem:
	
               yet life is a cycle and true stories have no beginning


Date name and sponsor:
	
               A fig leaf instead to hide sensual muse
	
               Cursory token when flipping salvation
	
               Blame the prompter for devious words


Is imprecation blasphemous?

Is romance risqué is erogenous lewd?

Concession for praise where it belongs!


Conclusions:

I vow to wash my mouth with lubricant . . .

Copulation extrapolates couplets and rhymes . . .

I’m grateful for rulers because they help with the lines . . .
