She eyes me shyly
She avoids my caress gently
She beckons me Luis come on
You know that me Eva-ever you'res
She is Eva-ever on my mind my one
She is tall dark pretty and gracious
With a name with connotations of mulla

swirls and loops
cursive beauty
crosses and dots
marks on paper
so much meaning
connotations
inspiration
shaking feelings
story poems
built so slowly
or tossed down fast
reminding us
of the power
we have over
swirls and loops...

A well known phrase
And while the diction is clear,
You and I still manage to find different connotations.

For me, 
It is simply a change of location
or season

Whereas you prefer a change in women, 
tossing the other out without logic or reason....

deceiving
            the eye
with emphasis &
              suggestion

stresses
       of the fanciful
evidence
      of the significant
with
                implications
  illusions
     enigmas

        connotations
                  in the eye
of
the

Society
Is a word without real meaning.
Yet society means a lot,
Like: look the other way; look at you with disgust;
Shun and violate.

Society is a sort of congregation of bullies.
A word only used with negative connotations.

A word used when people say:
"Be a productive part of"  
or
"You don't fit in."...

The Word of God grows 
out of the soil of your heart 
And on the earth of your character
Don't base your actions and reactions 
on impulse or emotion 
To save you from the campus 
of commotion in evil connotations 
which may not mind your affluence 
in communication or influence on the congregation 
It makes one to lose the commonwealth 
of his kindred and his wealth in His kingdom...

She wasn’t sure
If he had paid her
A compliment or an insult,
When he patted her posterior
And called her a bubble butt...

Wikipedia states: "Bubble butt" has at least two connotations, which are at odds with each other: either a small, round and firm pair of buttocks resembling a pair of soap bubbles next to each other, or a large rear end, seemingly about to burst from the strain....

I've actually heard that cohabitation
Can lead to nights of copulation
Which can have negative connotations
And lead to serious complications
Especially if their pigmentation
Shows they're from a different nation
We all adhere to the same orientation
We're all aboard the same flotation
It's Mother Earth there's no imitation
So lay back and get some relaxation
And don't succumb to constipation!...

With a sneer and a s....
His hand on the trigger
The little boy cocked his gun
His friends ran away
Cos' they would not play
With a boy that was no fun


Note...
Laugh in a half-suppressed and typically scornful way
Snicker in American Sn....... in English as in all dictionaries with no offensive connotations whatsoever.
I find the exclusion of the rest of the word in my poem out of my comprehension....

Mistakes are born in sterile rooms...alone in isopropyl fumes
Beneath a spray of congratulations
Aware of darker connotations
Mistakes by fools who lose their gloves...fools in grade school, not in love
confirming all the allegations
Provoking late night altercations
These, mistakes not forgive: not put to bed like little fibs
No, you will grow to rue that day
when you realize what you walked away
from....

fork has many interpretations

connotations

as do
eviscerate
slaughter
butchery
all can mean less than they
appear to be

context is important

but War

War is the foulest of foul words
a word that only the dead hear correctly

the living
choose from a lexicon of oaths
they may banter
or throw stones

but War

War kills every word
in the dictionary

even to the last
blood-soaked letter

Ocular hypertension and
A couple of jabs here

I read the letters on the chart and
Threw in the towel

But she was adamant 
The connotations

Pay-per-view Las Vegas
Ears bitten 

Jubba-jubba-jib-jab and
A bathroom meteorologist 

I got the receptionist
In a headlock 

I didn't kill Davey Moore
But I made another appointment and

Promised her the next time I was in
I would be the heavyweight champion of the world

Rediscovering listening to music
Currently have The Big Bopper on
With show don't tell, tell don't show poetry on my mind
I'm loving the simplicity of the telling in 50s music
I love the clothes, the make up, perhaps even connotations of chivalry
I'll have my equal rights and my special treatment (sorry not sorry)
And I'm sure the juxtaposition of holding a pint of Guinness sets off my (occasional) 1950s glamour look to perfection 
See ya later alligator...
