Jue Ju Gratification

submitting to the P~o~U~n~D~i~N~g waves
         ocean eyes engulf, begging release
             triumphantly, I moan my assent
        *mastery brings me sweet gratification*

Thanks for your post on my Jue Ju, Robert. You validate me because...to be honest...I was hoping it would do better than it did. Thanks for that vote of confidence.

I think this is a very effective entry for the contest; not easy to capture sensuality in so few words, but you have accomplished it here...I like that experimental first line, and "ocean eyes" - don't tell me you can't do imagery! poetry doesn't come effortlessly to me, eileen - I only wish it did! :)

Really, Charlotte...Honestly...you do make it seem SO SO easy. :) I was going to write a poem after reading your write...something about...the illusiveness of imagery! Silly me! I just wish I could see things different and not used the tried and true adjectives in the normal places...dried up old prunes! See! There I go again! ;) Anyway...thanks for your post. It makes me SO happy to see you here. Ocean eyes: could be blue...could be green! AHA! Bit of mystery there! Hugs!

Excellent Eileen! You did well to enter this for the contest. It would be perfect were you to shorten 2nd line to 5 words:) // paul

Just perfect! Exactly the way I imagined you would have it!!! So much more effective!

Thanks ever so much, Paul. I made the changes. I thought it was 5 or 7 words...as you like! I'm so thankful you brought it to my attention. i still don't think it has a chance, but at least now it doesn't have mistakes! Hugs

Unknown form of love making? Something to add to Kama Sutra? That would be something. Thanks for the visit, Justin. Good to have you here.

I am noticing the comment of Craig's down here, but did you rework this then? I am counting five or seven words in every line, so it is indeed a Jue Ju . A very nice one! And dang, don't go deleting poems when you are in a dark period, my dear, it only hurts you and the rest of us!!!
Manassian Avatar
July 28, 2014 at 2:07 AM
Sure did. Dang...I will try not to delete any more, but it's only when I'm lucid that the promise stands! ;)
