I love your third line most in this sensual ABC poem Andrea. I think everyone must have struggled creating this form with a sensual theme. I know I did. Congratulations my friend on you win! #7

andrea, you did a good job here with the form - they're not easy! a very uplifting one, joyful indeed, and you got some nice, subtle rhyme into it - desire/fire kindling/lingering/quivering obsessed/unabashed - congrats on your win in my contest! :)

Oh...I quibbled over the word "carnal" but with the way you constructed your etheree, it just shouts for the word...Sensual and such nice flow. Poetic sensuality!

Are you referring to Saturn's moon Titan?The description is top-notch,when a poet like you requires an hour to weave a poem,it shows.And I agree that mastering this form is very difficult.
