Idyllic Pleasure (Anacreontic Verse) Laughter and delight under a blue sky on the verdant bank of a bubbling stream where luscious food dulcet and divine tempts taste buds teeming with desire while wine flows freely like the roaming hands and ardent kisses of indulgent youths lured by spring’s warmth to an ebullient effervescent mood where inhibitions slither unrestrained in rumpled heaps as latticed lacing yields to deft touch and the setting sun shyly reticent slides behind the hills in a blushing haze of purple and red. ------------------------------ 2nd January, 2016 Contest: Anacreontic Verse Sponsor: Edward Ebbs Placed 4th

I really ought to look up what "anacreontic" means, because I keep on seeing it. I'm assuming it's all one long run-on sentence? In any case this was quite story-tale-ish. I enjoyed the cool and unique word combinations you used like "shyly reticent" and "blushing haze". Congrats on the win!

Thank you for a pleasant visit, Timothy:) I am not sure that the one long run-on sentence is a requisite; I have a feeling that it came about naturally since each line has to consist of just 3-5 syllables. ~ Regards // paul

You view this poem through my eyes, Eileen! Voyeurism was one of the points I had in mind to use, but there was no need since it was already 'understood'. Thank you for your lovely comments. Hugs // paul
