She fingered her curls with a child-like innocence
Using her eyes to whisper contradiction
Step after step she made clear what she wanted
She got
And I
Was to be no exception
She paused for a moment
Just inches before me
And smiled
Like a card player raking the pot
With expert precision she leaned in to ask me
“Are we gonna’ go back to your place or not?”
Despite all the thoughts that invaded my mind
Her hand on my chest hurled me back to the moment
When sliding it up ‘round my neck
She then claimed me
Testing my tongue to prove that I condoned it
Pushing me back wearing a face of mischief
She started to walk as she had just before
Reeling me in with her beckoning finger
I followed her aura right out the front door

It didn't flow as well as it could have. I think it still needs a little work, but I really enjoy these capture-the-moment poems you write. I really liked the "Testing my tongue" line and the ending was good too.

Not that Master's opinion isnt legit, but i disagree with it...I really enjoyed this and think its awesome the way it is. The little details are what give this character ("She fingered her curls with a child-like innocence") and the lust is so strongly described. Excellent work.
And on a side note, I've read some of your replies to other posts and i admire your opinions - you're very constructive with your criticisms and suggestions. When/if inspiration ever find me again, I'd be curious to hear your reaction.
Enuff babbling - to bed with me

One thing I've found when writing about lust is that you're walking a really fine line -- you either slip over to one side, which is slutty, or the other, which is corny. I think you walked that line perfectly -- great work! Kind of leaves me wondering, although I know what's gonna happen (I read Cosmo). *ahem* I'm gonna go now. I'm about to breach the limits of good taste LOL

I was joking before about the "lisa's brother" thing Robin.  I think it is kind of demeaning to call him that.  Not only was he at piptalk first, but he is a much better poet.  Lets stick with Kevin and Lisa....

Enjoyed this, Kevin, very much...
I think it was said above that this walked
the fine line...
indeed it did...very well...

write with grace, all others lose face;
"Jo was very tall, thin, ... and reminded one of a colt..." LMA

Hey Kevin-
I enjoyed this piece a lot! I particulary enjoyed the line, "She fingered her curls with a child-like innocence".  I loved the imagery, well done.
