A touching bit of poetry… 😉
Sensations
•
slow
satisfying
shower
serenely steamy
soft supple skin
salaciously slathered
shorn smooth
satin-silky
seductive scent
subtly spread
sensuous strokes
sliding
stimulating
stirring sighs
shivers
savoring
so
so
so slippery

Very steamy, sultry, slippery stanza. Brilliant, JP
I didn’t know that many s words could turn out something so sensuous.
JP –
Thank you — you are most kind! 😉
Jennifer –
Thank you!
Just look at the word sensuous itself — 3 S’s… that gave me the clue to go that direction… 😉
Fantastic! This smooth poem slipped through my thoughts as I read it.
This is a take on the prompt I did not consider, and I love seeing what you’ve done with “slippery.” Inspiring.
Kristin –
Thank you!
I am pleased you enjoyed it… 😉
Before I begin to work poetically with a prompt, I always speak it out loud a number of times — not thinking what the word means immediately. Instead, I hear the word, listening carefully to its sound.
I also make a quick recording of my voice saying it with several different inflections — to get a pure reactionary sense for the sound of the prompt.
In addition, I feel my mouth form around the word, paying close attention as it moves on my lips and tongue… how its resonance feels in my voice box.
I then examine the definitional meaning(s) of the prompt — overlaying all of this to see where my muse then takes me.
As I did all this with the word slippery, it felt and sounded very sensual. As I then concentrated on its meanings — the direction and shape of this poem began to unfold.
That’s my process for writing poetry. When I am not working with a prompt, as is the case most of the time, my process is the same.
The difference being, I search my subconscious for a word or phrase, writing in free association with my stream of consciousness — or I begin reading something, until a word or phrase grabs me.
Then the process I have described, begins.
Mmmm … slippery to say the least – Love it!!!
