THE RED DRESS OF POETRY
by Carla Stanley
The red
dress of
poetry is
a second
date a
read beauty
of sound
meant for
eyes mind
ears voice
words together
intertwined
so close
making
i’s and
mmm’s at
each other
whispering sweet
consonant nothings
and vowels
of endearment
so
breathy
so
sensual
this coupling
that
words
do.
ohmygod!
how evocative, romantic, erotic; words are…
Carla, didn’t know you had this side to your poetry, I love it! THough I love your quirky stuff, as well.
