Karen Jones Poet Free verse

Love Boat

Indigo ink dreams
Dripping from heart
Tattoos tongue with kinetic kiss
Green electric buzz like sip
Of fine blueberry wine so sweet
Dreamy turquoise love touch
Filling me up with red desire
On fire for your romantic antic
Sweeping me off my feet
Carrying me with ease
Of a blue breeze to deserted love island 
Where tan sands caress like brown hands
White waters flow warm and toasty
Fast slow then in closing cold
Never let go of this love
For it floats like a boat

Duke Beaufort June 7, 2024 at 6:04 AM Karen, interesting idea to compare love to a boat and how it makes you feel. I think you have captured something special about how wonderful a feeling love can be. Karen Jones June 7, 2024 at 7:50 AM Really? Wow thanks for saying that!

Candide Diderot June 5, 2024 at 4:43 PM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c1BThu95d8 Karen Jones June 7, 2024 at 7:49 AM Thanks for reading Candide! Candide Diderot June 5, 2024 at 4:43 PM It's beautiful this poem of yours. I love it.

Susan Manley June 3, 2024 at 9:23 AM I came expecting "The Love Boat" ( uh oh, I am dating myself. LOL) but this seems more like a steamy dreamy riverboat , paddleboat scene to a party island. LOL or something similarly inspired. Mississippi inspired perhaps? Karen Jones June 3, 2024 at 5:57 PM Now that theme song will be stuck in my head. lol Inspired by my dream lover in LA while I’m in NC. Thanks for reading Susan!

Richard Lamoureux May 7, 2024 at 11:50 AM You are probably too young to remember the series. I had a crush on Julie the cruise director when I was a kid. I enjoyed your imagery.

Susan Ashley May 4, 2024 at 8:43 AM Dear Karen, I am enthralled with the romantic feeling and imagery of your poem. I adore your use of color "indigo ink", assonance "kiss/sip", "ease/breeze', internal rhymes "fine/wine", sands/hands and word combos like "romantic antic". In other words.. I adore all the poetic devices so deftly employed in your splendid verse! Belated congrats for your POTD honors.. a wonderful and worthy choice! Warmest wishes my gifted poetry friend.. ~Susan Karen Jones May 4, 2024 at 11:30 AM What a lovely compliment Susan! Your detailed comments made my day! You are thoughtful and very talented yourself!
