Well, I thought 'Poetry and Science' needed to be lightened up . . .

Ha! Ha! The trouble is, it's true!

Cheers!

Poetry and Porn    


Poetry is pornography,
your lines are naked flesh   
yielding scents and secrets
forbidden fruits of sheer excess.

I wrap your words around me,
they are the inside thighs
of mermaids and of angels.
Your metre gently sighs
   

with a simple pure lost longing,  
forgotten long ago,
for erotic carnal knowledge
of you, and I should know,
  

silky, pulsating, vibrant,  
your poem simply begs  
for me once more, again   
I drink the bottle to the dregs.

I love each oozing stanza  
I crush each line, a grape.
Poetry is addictive -   
for me, there’s no escape.

There are some lovely lines here, Tolstoy: 
 
"Your metre gently sighs / with a simple pure lost longing" 
 
and "your lines are naked flesh". 
 
But a couple of questions? 
 
Is it porn, or is it passion? one of those sounds pejorative. 
 
And, do mermaids have inner thighs?

Really enjoyed most of it.  
 
Although... 
'I love each oozing stanza  
I crush each line, a grape.' 
 
reminded me of that hideous catchphrase, 'oooh, I could crush a grape'. I've thankfully forgotten who was responsible for that one. 
 
Vron's literal mind: 'do mermaids have inner thighs?', does make me wonder...inspiration for a further poem perhaps? 'Do angels wear underwing deodorant?', 'Do mermaids smell exquisitely of fish?', 'Does the medusa need hair extensions?', 'Is Goldilocks starting to grey?' and so on...

Unfortunately, I remember. I could crush a grape - Stu Francis - top class pillock. 
 
Do mermaids have inner thighs? Well - that depends on who is imagining them, I would have thought. 
 
Puts your 'addiction' across really well. 
 
'My name is John (although I sometimes go by Katie, Tolstoy, or plain Jellyman) and I am a poemolic.'
