The moon slipped
beneath the surface
of a black sky, like
a hand disappearing in silk lingerie
tending the fires of night.
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

Passionate! Moon and the cloud as lovers!
I love this poem Pat!
Beautiful!
Margie
Hot stuff, Pat. Takes us in an unexpected but convincing direction.
Hum...love that slutty poetry!
Great image. Must borrow from the wisdom of others (again:): 'it was when he mastered fire that the lord of beasts became a lord of men'.
i luv it
mmmmm... delightfully sensual...
love it!
Oh my! I like the element of surprise in this — much more than a simple eclipse.
oh who! Hot stuff Pat!!
Wow!
Saucy!
:o)
Liquid beauty and what an awesome ending!!
This is very, how you say, exotic.
Be careful, you'll end up with 4 kids with poems like that! :)
Gautami, a little passion in the heavens!!
Thanks Margie!!
Thanks Bill!!
Don, I guess the moon's secret is out. Thanks!!
Borut, I'm not sure we've mastered "fire".
Thank you Kai!!
Polona, as I looked at the moon's final sliver my naughty brain went to work. Thanks!!
MB,it all looked consentual to me.
Corey, most days I feel about medium warm, but, some days...
Thanks SB!!
Life without sauce is bland. Thanks Trinity star!!
Minerva, a little wine, a little "sliver" of moon and what other ending could there be??
C, and I was hoping for erotic. Oh well.
Andrew, got all those scars I need to have.
Thanks Tim!!
