Premiere Contest WinnerLovely Suppositions

i have kissed beneath summer’s sweltering
fragrance your array of spackled decay

in lovely gardens; sweet roses weltering
plundered and plucked; an incidental lay

beneath your satin I have run my fingers, 
trembled as famished breasts groped my 
own; your mellow poetry still lingers
imperviously enriching - and when i try
to kiss another i feel your haunting roots 

encroaching my tingled thighs and i shake
beleaguered by your lavender; heat shoots

through laboring reeds sprouted mistakes
pale panhandlers passionately proposed

then by your tender 

i’m awaiting... (so you suppose)

Great poem Phillip, you are on the right track if Charlotte puts you in first place. I am always intrigued by your work, although I usually have to read it two or three times to get it. (sometimes I don't)

this contemporary sonnet is so good on so many levels; a layered write with great use of language, alliteration, and the end rhyme so natural and organic that i barely noticed it! "spackled', unusual word there, i thought it was a typo, but no...thank you for entering such a superb piece into my contest, and congrats on your 1st place win!
