All Comments on 'Appetites'

I like this poem because it describes eroticism realistically. Or because it describes real-life eroticism. I'm not always thinking about my husband's friends or any other random "hunky" guys (my definition of "hunky"would never have met Playgirl's standards), but I have (and do, sometimes) think about men I meet in ways in which we could have been more than just friends. I don't think that compromises my relationship with my spouse, but it does recognize a (possibly biological) reality. But, in any case, I quite liked this poem.

In thought but not in deed.

Made me smile.

This is extremely sexy in a light, almost playful way. Still, there's something more, under that suggestion of possibility. Something...darker. The last stanza speaks of some missing communication or blindness between husband and wife, some sadness.

Appetites indeed!
