Gregory Richard Barden Poet Shape

Notes About The Poem

Tepid Tryst - Five Letter Words Only

Humid April night
 
    Lover, first sight

         Ideal woman shape

           Sheet, coyly drape

         Sheer, fancy gauze

   Yours Truly, cause

  Crazy angel lover

   Shine under cover

     Knows every trick

        Night heat's thick

            Skin's silky touch

              Tempt lusts, dutch

              Spicy candy mouth

           Slide lower, south

        Tepid torso treat

     Savor syrup, sweet

    Fiery urges, fresh

   Love's lucid flesh

  Feels beget sighs

   Zeal's ardor flies

    Even's wheel turns

   Lust's flame burns

  Wine's bloom, blush

 Final ... fever ... crush.

Sandra Haight January 14, 2018 at 3:59 PM Gregory, congratulations on your First Place win for this very difficult five-letter-word poem! You've done an amazing job! Sandra Gregory Richard Barden January 16, 2018 at 1:31 AM That's so very sweet of you, Sandra, this was really very tough ... I spent a lot of time on it, (probably five times what I normally spend on a poem, lol), but I think the more we put IN to something, the more we get OUT of it! Very rewarding experience! Blessings, friend! :-) <3

Andrea Dietrich December 23, 2017 at 7:09 PM another amazing poem using only five letter words, Gregory. Not too over the top! Just the right amount of heat to paint a flowing sensuous poem! Merry Christmas to you if you are gone till after Xmas!! Gregory Richard Barden December 27, 2017 at 8:56 PM Merry Christmas, Andrea - not sure why I didn't see this before, (I don't think I get all my notifications), but thank you so much! This was REALLY hard, at least for me, but I think the ones we work at the most are often the most rewarding ... this was a wonderful contest and "word workout", and a lot of fun! Blessings, Dear Poet Friend! :-)

Silent One December 20, 2017 at 4:56 PM This is a difficult challenge and you did it so well.. you wrote a great sensual poem.. Gregory Richard Barden December 22, 2017 at 12:53 PM Thanks, my friend, this was a really difficult challenge, and very time-consuming, but I had a lot of fun doing it. Blessings, S1! :-)

CayCay Godwin December 20, 2017 at 4:20 PM I don't like you any more. Where is the trophy for this contest? We might as well just hand it to you now. Hmmph I thought I'd done a thorough job of it, but this puts my poem content at the children's table. Seriously, I am happy you and your muse created such an image, above and beyond. You can go home now. Show off. Kidding again. All the best ... CayCay Gregory Richard Barden December 22, 2017 at 12:52 PM LOL - this made me chuckle, CayCay, you're so funny and sweet ... I must say, though, this was a really tough one, and I spent a lot of time on it. There's often greater reward (internally) the harder things come, but I wasn't sure how this would come across ... but a lot of fun! I'm so happy you liked it, Dear Friend! Blessings! :-) <3

Janice Canerdy December 20, 2017 at 3:13 PM Whew! I'm fanning, Greg. This is so creative--and hot. Janice Gregory Richard Barden December 22, 2017 at 12:47 PM LOL - thank you so much, Janice, that was my hope, to get across some energy and emotion, but wow, so hard to do with just five-letter words. A great challenge but a lot of fun! Blessings, my friend! :-) <3

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton December 20, 2017 at 2:51 PM Wow. Woh....Va-voom! Gregory Richard Barden December 22, 2017 at 12:46 PM Thank you, Leanne! :-)

Beautiful Scars December 20, 2017 at 11:16 AM love it! This was difficult for me and you wrote with such ease...good luck it will be a winner! :)-luloo Gregory Richard Barden December 22, 2017 at 12:43 PM Thank you so very kindly, Luloo - it may SEEM like ease, but this was REALLY a tough challenge, and took me quite a while ... SO much fun, though! Blessings to you, My Friend! :-) <3

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart December 20, 2017 at 9:46 AM Sultry sensational penning! Good luck in the contest :) xomo! Gregory Richard Barden December 22, 2017 at 12:42 PM Very kind of you, Mo, thanks so very much! <3

Judith S December 20, 2017 at 9:42 AM I am blown away, Greg, that you actually wrote something so long ... and so sensuous and fiery ... with ALL 5 letter words!!!!!!! Just amazing work!!! Gregory Richard Barden December 22, 2017 at 12:41 PM Oh, that's VERY sweet of you to say so, Judy, you made me smile ... this was REALLY hard and time-consuming, lol, but a great exercise, and a lot of fun! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it ... I wasn't sure how it would come across to others. Kind of the same reason I love Haiku, (though I haven't written any in a while), the challenge of telling a whole story with just seventeen syllables ... this was a similar challenge. Blessings, dear friend! <3 :-)
