Premiere Contest WinnerPersuasions of a Sojourning Moon

Her supple and shapely silhouette rests submissively
as the luster upon the soft satin sheets arouses
sensual images of salaciousness beneath the sheen surface

My empty yet enduring eyes slowly engage the darkness
eager to embark upon the elusive lines energizing the elation
as a sojourning moon entices her to endear

Her excelling exuberance... exploited on exhalation
exposing her explicitly, exemplifying the excerpt
of an exonerated experience as the moonlight expires

Well done, Alvin! I am impressed by the alliteration in stanza 1 and 3. I am impressed by the absolutely breath grabbing complexities you so eloquently deliver. I hope this gets more reads. Nice to 'meet' you and your talent ... CayCay

Thank you CayCay. I was inspired after reading an example of the Acrostic-form; however, I wanted to be elusive in forming the word. Using alliteration on each stanza was my attempt to create a non-direct Acrostic-type poem - I'm still experimenting (and learning) the art. I'm glad you liked it.
