Subtle Seduction

octobre slinks forth
        relinquishing heat-scorched earth ~
                salacious summer

enflamed leaves embracing
        dalliance with wilder winds ~
		erotic fall tryst

hoary trees exposed
        brazenly displayed bosom ~
                scandalous winter

new bulbs gamboling
         commoved carefree canoodling ~
		warm sassy spring

The sensuality of your seasonal touch is truly brilliant and playfully pleasent Poetess. You've really put your signature on a classic motif which is a very rare achievement in my opinion...J.A.B.

I love this, Linda! It is rich with an eroticism that is very exciting, and I have never associated with the passage of autumn and winter. Well done! Best, Thomas
