        Genetics Knell

Dwindling the shadows fell,
Deepening the Zinfandel.
Painting brindle on the wall,
A mantilla's lacy shawl.

Behind the fan her eyes aglow,
Her bosom rose each breath in show.
And the ecstasy smoked my eyes.
And crossed my face in lusty sly.

I spoke to her in lovers muse,
Little things of little views.
Attempting in a subtle way,
To touch her heart in secret play.

The acid of her beauty ran,
Across the gentle moving fan.
And ate into the soul of me,
With golden shards of filigree.

And I was caught genetics knell,
A victim of hormonal dwell.

Sy Sy Sy that vocab is getting WAY out of control!

What an explorative poem this is - I did enjoy, I did.

Well done as usual.

Sy,
Rainbow thiks that filigree
Is something really great to see
Serenity knows very well
The smell was from the Zinfandel
Kamla says your Poem gives
A hint of the "explorative"
She thinks the poet as a whole
Is getting way out of control
And Balladeer's lusty reply
Is badgering the lusty Sy
He thinks the "lusty sly" you sung
Was a lusty sly slip of the tongue
And Nan dwells on "hormonal dwell"
And she knows poetry very well
And so I sit here on the brink
And I just don't know what to think
I think that your hormonal well
Is laden with hormonal dwell
You're gettimg quite explorative
The more sly lusty words you give
And we are in hormonal dwell
Still reeling from the Zinfendel
So Sy, I don't know what to say
I hope you have a lusty day
Loved the poem
Love ya
Liz

Creatively expressed, your desires
but I fancy 'twas more than Zin,
fanned Lust's fires

Me thinks behind the fan is where that lusty sly Sy's hormonal dwells...and what a wonderful sigh of a lover's muse you have.

Wonderful poem!!

Nan, I love cake with my ZIN. *L* Sy

Elizabeth, I am overwhelmed by your poem. You have such a quick mind, It often blinds.
I trust the touch of wonderlust,
The upthrust of its windy gust,
Did not disturb the birds and bees.
Or add weight to some whiffletree.
Love Sy

Mistikman, By all means check with the dictionary, Thank you for the comment.

Meadow, Drink helps feed the fires of Zin. *L*

Martie, I love you dearly. Thank you Sy
