Oh, Those Follies

These demimondaines, these Follies, on their Parisian stage
Frequently exciting in titillation to naked bare they
Encouraging heckles in erupt amidst sweated brows

hey, you took this in a different way. Eveyone has interpreted it so differently. It's for that picture contest, right? New word for me, demimodaines!! About the chocolate, I just made all that up, but I do adore all those kinds of chocolates!

Such a provocative write dear poet ! Yet O how to myself, a wanting adventure, to absorb what these souls concider a titillation, bestowed to the excitable souls, who are more than willing to reimberse the exposure to, most often, beauty enticing ! Have a wonderful journey, to the beautiful souls who impress us at will ! ;) much love, james

Haven't ever seen the follies, James, but I can imagine all sorts of emotions being evoked by the exotic dancers. If this is for the contest, I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
