Xanadu's Youthful Zeal - Abc

A burning carnal desire,
     exquisite fire glowing hot,
            is joyful kindling! 
                    Lingering mouths 
                           nourish obsessed passion; 
                                  quivering rapture  
                                        stimulates the unabashed. 
                                                      Voraciousness wreaks
                                                                Xanadu’s youthful zeal!

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

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.
