well, well!!

The bestowing of an E does not surprise me here. A job well done. Congratulations!

best wishes, and still would love to see you in and around the poetry forum. I know I could learn from you. Your style is clean and fresh and it is good to see someone giving a voice to those women of us who are less than blond and bony,yet there are those who are perfect and beautiful in their own ways, (regardless of what some people in various media outlets have decided is the definition of perfection). I don't know what else to say except I enjoyed your work and I apologize for babbling on). Keep up the good work :)

best wishes,

NJ

This is really quite a good poem. And like Normal Jean wrote, I would also like to see you on literotica's poetry forum.

I don't know what else to say, but...

About the biblical context

I enjoyed the erotic expression in the poem. I just wish you used a different couple as a reference. The direct allusion to the biblical text on which (I assume) the poem builds at least as a starting point worked against the poem not with it. I'll try to explain. The brevity of the bible is known for its flexibility in allowing numerous interpretations to fill the gaps. Still, not every thing goes. Anyone who has read the scroll of Ruth knows that the story of Ruth and Naomi comes immediately prior to one of the 'hottest' most touching and romantic love affairs in the bible -that is the story of Ruth and Boaz. The immediate and explicit context of Ruth and Naomi (her mother in law) is that of not being abandoned immediately after Mahlon, Ruth husbands death. A lesbian connection squeezed in between the death of her husband and the big story of this book, that of Ruth and Boaz, is just not one the text suggests, or in other words is not one of the legitimate gap fillers the text allows. Now David and Jonathan for example is a whole different story...
