Summer Lover

Oh, summer sun, all winter I have missed your stale hot breath upon my upturned face; your tongue that seers my flesh as I unlace the strings on my bikini. I am kissed by sultry lips that burn. I can’t resist! I bask in light of day, and I embrace Your penetrating rays that find each space of skin exposed. I wait and plan my tryst. And when you come, I’ll reverence you once more, supine, as you would have me, to receive your torrid touch as token of your lust. In June we’ll meet as always by the lake shore. I should not go. So well you can deceive. Some lovers you have killed! Yet still I trust. . . for Brian Strand's Your Choice,Any Form,Any Theme Poetry Contest

OK, this is hot, in more ways than one--wow! Very clever Andrea--and alas, so true (I had a brush with skin cancer myself)-- kudos on your win.

Stunning!!!! Difficult form in its rigid rhyming scheme in the octave followed by another rigid scheme in the following six. The success of this type of poetry is that it has to read as smooth as any simplistic form. Fav.
