Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

Udonis

I searched all night for a contortionist, 
so that I might appreciate my own lack of flexibility. 
She twisted my mind and body in the most pretzel of ways.
Even though I tried hard, I couldn’t achieve my Gumby aspirations. 
In the end, she felt I was kinda Pokey, so she kicked me out of her bed.

As I walked down the street, 
I contemplated the lawlessness of attraction. 
There I was wandering around the rules, 
wondering which ones I had broken.
Had I not tried my best to bend backwards?
She said I was stiff but not in the way that mattered.

What I wanted, apparently left her Wanton.
 I could feel it in her perfectly formed aura.
She somehow lacked the liquidity to complete our transaction.
Still I admired her foot to neck accomplishments.
I had wanted to pole vault to new depths,
but my Noodled Udon couldn’t reach China.

From the beginning I was aching for her attraction,
but was left to watch her perform an exquisite Aria.
I am thankful and must admit, she played her instrument perfectly.
Leaving me mesmerized and completely 

.....Astounded!

J.R. Wren-Ingalls January 19, 2020 at 2:16 PM This was great! I like how you go from physical to beyond. The contortionist being flexible in body, but not able to meet the speaker of the poem. I also love the mentioning of the "lawlessness of attraction." This was a good write! Richard Lamoureux January 19, 2020 at 2:51 PM Thanks, it was just a bit of silly but I like how it came out.

Andrea Dietrich January 19, 2020 at 2:14 PM this is AWESOME work. I see you included also other A words in it and ended with Astounded, same as I did!! We were on the same wave length, but you made YOUR poem a heck of a lot funnier! Richard Lamoureux January 19, 2020 at 2:52 PM Thanks Andrea, a bit silly but fun to write.

Silent One January 19, 2020 at 1:32 PM This one made me smile Richard..

M. L. Kiser January 18, 2020 at 6:09 PM This is fun, truly colorful; love "I had wanted to pole vault to new depths, but my Noodled Udon couldn’t reach China." It totally cracked me up.

Vijay Pandit January 18, 2020 at 2:17 PM Kudos for the creativity and originality Richard--enjoyed the humorous write.

Demetrios Trifiatis January 18, 2020 at 12:41 PM Fine entertaining writing dear, Richard. It is masterfully done in an exquisite humourous way. Much enjoyed!

Robert Kinard January 18, 2020 at 8:23 AM Richard my wife said it must be a man thing. And I said yes! and it's funny too. And like you I also write to entertain. Nicely done. Richard Lamoureux January 18, 2020 at 8:24 AM Hi Robert, glad I could entertain.

Eric Ashford January 17, 2020 at 2:28 PM A fun write Richard - and well crafted. Much enjoyed Richard Lamoureux January 18, 2020 at 12:26 AM Thanks Eric.

Richard Lamoureux January 17, 2020 at 11:52 AM Ha ha, I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the fun comment. Have a great day. Perhaps if she slurped the noodle there might have been a different outcome. Sorry I couldn’t resist. Bad Rick!
