Yesterday

Yesterday caught me thinking 
Of thoughts melodic and serene
Vivid in roused seance
Trembled navel
Full with anticipation 
From sacral to root
Drowned in downy bliss
Dissolved by whispers 
Within my hips 
Surveyed with gentle lips
Yesterday caught me thinking 
Of every salacious kiss

Thomas Wells Date: 5/15/2020 6:24:00 PM The power of the poem seems to come from its suggestion of an erotic communion (perhaps belly dancing) with the dead. It seems like a memory of someone loved who is seduced back into being. This is excellent writing! Thanks, Thomas Wells Login to Reply

Anil Deo Date: 5/12/2020 11:24:00 PM Well-controlled writing, expertly balancing word choice with "salacious" details. I am saddened that quality writing like yours - excellent length, not too long - are missed, & no comments posted on it until mine. Glad for this chance to read Andreanna's skilled writing. Never quit. Login to Reply Andreanna Escamilla Date: 5/12/2020 11:41:00 PM I am humbled by your kind review of my work. Thank you for reading.
