Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

She Stepped Lightly

She stepped lightly
Amid the golden reeds
Glowing, this nymph of 
Riparian leisure -- 
Barefoot and scantily 
Covered breasts, whose
Jutting pavilions twice
Blessed swayed and 
Swelled as the marsh
Tried breathe, exhaled even
Deeper saturating its own boggy
Savors, fixated then 
Upon her naked thighs
Exposed for the silk
Curtain had parted revealed
Luscious droplets clinging, slipping, 
Slippery sliding my heart a slush
Of primitive desire --

Candide Diderot July 24, 2026 at 7:34 AM One of your best, out of all of yours I have read. Summons D.H. Lawrence to mind. Beautiful write. Joseph P. DiMino July 24, 2026 at 8:02 AM Wow! Thank you. Made my day.

Joe Maverick July 2, 2026 at 2:33 AM Well i never..!! Now its plain what i'm Up against..Joe Di-mino..!!! You have Broken out, prayers are needed.' Lol))) Btw some might find it droll.? Joe Maverick July 2, 2026 at 8:39 PM All is well Joe Dimino..Specially the weather today in the UK.' Joseph P. DiMino July 2, 2026 at 6:47 PM Just a poem, Joe; imagination. Even as a very young man, loved poetry. My young friends would come to me to write a poem they could give to a girl they were infatuated with to whom they wanted to endear themselves. I was a 60's Cyrano. I Thought Walter Benton's "This Is My Beloved" was some of the most sensually beautiful poetry I had ever read. Never saw anything wrong with such expression. Wonderfully Human. Joe Maverick July 2, 2026 at 12:53 PM I was worried she was a person on the 20st margin and in some sort of Canter.?? Had inadvertanty chanced to step on you, were you sunbathing a poolside scene came to mind.' Joseph P. DiMino July 2, 2026 at 8:28 AM I didn't think prayers would get me a date...should have tried... She was enchanting. Thank you, Joe; just messing around. A different write, recalling my youthful primitive.

Thank you, Empress. I like spicy Soup every now and then. So pleased you enjoyed this work. Blessings.

Valsa George June 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM Sensuous and seductive! Humans can easily fall into her trap. This is something quite different from your usual poems. Joseph P. DiMino June 29, 2026 at 8:19 PM I think I was just testing myself a little bit. I had been reading some poetry from one of the masters and thought, I could do that, if I wanted -- so I just gave it try. Pleased with the results...but not my usual style as you say. A good exercise in expression though. A fun experiment. Thank you, Valsa.

Andrea Dietrich June 29, 2026 at 11:35 AM A fantasy poem. So sensuous, Joe. And you can hope she is also a nympho! Joseph P. DiMino June 29, 2026 at 12:50 PM Of course! Hmm...at my age? What the heck!!
