A grand success

Hi, Ellen. I don't see much in the way of polished formal poetry here, but this one is exceptional. What do you call the metric scheme, where you have a couple of unstressed syllables that open each line of iambs (at least, that's how I scan it)? It's interesting and effective. And the poem is erotic in a very classy way.

I've always enjoyed poetry that mixes the spiritual with the sensual. I liked how you did this in a very nuanced way.

One of the most accomplished, moving, hot and true poems I've ever read here

Stunning, smart, beautifully-layered and deeply moving.
