All Comments on 'Do Not Read This Poem'

Enbiji does well with many verse forms--her sonnets are very good indeed. But I especially enjoy her offerings in the verse form found here (octasyllabic couplets), which lends itself well to sophisticated ribaldry. I sympathize with the poet's lament. Yes, it's hard to find an audience for serious poetry anywhere, and (no offense to the site administrators) Literotica isn't a great venue for poets.

.

Part of the problem is that here poems are herded into their own ghetto rather than dispersed among stories with similar themes. Here's a desperate stratagem that conceivably could work. Write a short story (which you also do well) with a heroine who is a poet. You can cleverly integrate her poem(s)--which you quote--into the narrative of your story. As I said, it's kind of a desperate move, but it does beat banging one's head against the wall.

Even though the utter truth throughout the lines is serious and sad, it still made a smile...and impressed. My personal sense for meter is most likely spoiled by the permanent use of yards for growing flowers and feet to walk or stand on...not to mention inches by any length, since even the least impressive translate to two-digit centimeters.

Speaking of two digits: V stars for avoiding any 38GGGs, universe-rattling peaks and dozens of one's body openings flooded with protein-rich fluids... I'm positive that literate erotica - I sometimes assume that's what the site name is about - may involve sonnets, leaving the screen to get a dictionary or even - but not has to - rhyme.

Well said. Thank you, you Peter, for taking the time to read my verse and even comment. It's worth writing just to know at least one person cares 💚
