After various snow warnings we finally got dumped on! Oh how I love the fluffy wonder of Snow! The cleanliness, the magic, the brightness!
Bryan snapped a photo of this jogger in spandex and labeled it "Perseverance " I thought it to be quite appropriate for todays post!Writers Island Prompt for this week is "desire", which I already covered in the previous post, so I decided to write a poem about the persistence of desire!
Persistence
Desire leashes the untamed soul
Luring it to unfettered places
Wagering absolution
For the covert hedonist
Raunchily consumed by irrationality
Each moment of wanton
Flaming a larger craving
Until the cavernous charge
Seizes absolute control
Demanding execution
Torturing the impassioned
Cruelly tormenting
With baited envy
Compelling pleasure
To sully its stasis

Oh wow! To sully its stasis is inspired. So is baited envy. Nice stuff.
Aloha Sherri..
Ok, maybe this is weird.. I was reading your poem and suddenly got the song, *Funky cold Medina* stuck in my head, so I was humming it while re-reading your words and then I scanned down to the mugs and got interested in those..
Then I came back to this post and forgot completely what I wanted to say..
Maybe if I just say.. You're wonderful and I'm glad you're my friend, that will cover it.. :)
PEace n love, Kai xx
I desire to write like you! xoxo
I like the title. Sometimes thats me,,
LOL!
desire can be very persistent. I love your first photo of the snow. We had our first real snow for years earlier this month...
You used so many fine phrases that my eyes are still wide! Really cool stuff - ran a gamut of thought... Glad you like snow...we have over 4 feet now, shoveling off roofs is a good thing and my driveway is blocked by a huge berm of ice. So. I'm waiting for cabin fever. LOL Great poem! Nifty pictures!
We seem slaved to it, don't we?
