Spell Cast

While you lay awake,
what whispers of sensation,
are left on your skin?

The feel of silence,
has filled you with such loud thoughts,
of this person here;

she has slept enough
for you to absorb and smell.
The spell she has cast,

left you hypnotized.
You wish this witch, won't take flight,
delicious her might.

Great lines: "The feel of silence, / has filled you with such loud thoughts, / of this person here;" There is a lot of confusion about Haiku and Senryus and how they should be written. However, those lines I mentioned above are just too good. Mail me if you want to discuss Haikus.

Bewitching, Jessica! You certainly cast your spell with this one. "Loud thoughts" is an excellent oxymoron. Very sensual! Love, Carolyn
