All Comments on 'Comfort and Need'

I mentioned this poem in the New Poem Review thread in the Poetry Forum. Please feel free to come along and join in. Welcome to Literotica! (the 50% temp rating is so that it will not affect other temp ratings) - wildsweetone

I've just read this once, so I don't have chapter and verse, but I loved this poem, loved the measured, restrained quality of the triplets, and thought the imagery beautifully done. It is very hard to maintain the imagistic momentum in a poem like this because it starts out strong and yet one wants it to build to its own climax with the participants— but I think that this is accomplished very well, mostly because the anal sex gives so much room for euphemism that it unleashes more metaphors that are designed to pull the act into the same "comfort level" as the earlier, more pastoral, passages. Really nicely done overall.

Read it aloud at your next church meeting. :)

Welcome to Lit with this well written piece of erotica, blended phrases of erotic reality and metaphors {both erotic and not} make this a very smooth reading piece.
