This tanka, Love in Flames, has the proper formatting and sends the situation in another direction than we assume from the title. This is a romance that needs to be handled with oven mitts.

I guess the flames are both on a physical level, emotional, and Soul level! Now that's a pretty intense kind of passion! I know you feel on that level so you know what you write about!

I love reading your tanka poems. I like the metaphoric last verse that sets her soul " on fire." Such compelling and intriguing energy in a short poem, which could be interpreted in various ways, depending on the perception of the reader.
Nice one
RJ

umm... you have 6 lines... tanka poems are five, right?

maybe...

I love you
when your hands are all over me--
your vestige touch
burns my skin with passion
and sets my soul afire

just a suggestion...
great imagery and smooth flow either way!
thank you for sharing
shelley :)

A very passionate verse that starts gently before building up to the fire and heat of that gentle but indelible, roaming touch. All, as ever, beautifully presented. Thanks for sharing, Gypsy. Take care Debbie

This is one sensual piece of poetry, Gypsy, and both pieces of artwork should be used for the cover of a romance novel. Great work as always, my friend.
God bless,
Steve

This is a very sensual poem, and I enjoyed reading. I'm wondering when Sami discusses the chemistry between her and Noah, if she's feeling the same way. I hope so. Thank you for sharing this presentation with us.
