What a lovely 'Spanish' poem! It is fiesta time here now, so we have dances and castanets and lots of sangria for the next few weeks. Your poem puts it all down nicely. Lovely swaying lyrical movement in the words, beautiful.xsx

I love the poem. I think it would make a good song. I love the way you described the passion of the sex act. Not once did you mention sex, but it was very erotic, Great work.

Adjective Content-******
Color, color, color, these
Adjectives paint that mural so
deeply as hue penetrates the early
morning dew.

Flow-******
Nice and robust.

Grammar-******
Important but more on objectionably
and heart with a dash of soul of course.
Excellent.

Pronounceable-******
Coherent, no rantings, just puerility
{a Word?}

Pronounceable-
Stars here are for lesser, learning,
young, poets.
Good job.

Objective Content-******
You blend the insect with the Human well.
On a copulation level of 1-100,
YOu sir, have attained a 100.

Synopsis-******
I gave this piece a six based mainly on
the stirring of a human beings feelings
to mate.
I liked your choice of words.
I could re-write but I doubt that I could
attain your level of sustenance.
Completely spoctologically logically,
spoctological.

    Hello
    Well, well.
    I am not sure if 'puerility' might not be read as a derivative of 'puerile'!
    Seriously, I thank you for reading the piece with obvious attention to detail - despite the small reward for so doing.
    I thank you warmly for the encouragement and I wish you well
    cheers

Oh, what a treat! Another piece from the Master. Do I understand the poem? Yes. Do I understand the technicalities? No! It's quite simply brilliant. Very well done indeed.
Every good wish, Mike

    You are very kind.
    I am glad you enjoyed the piece - it is not that technical to be honest and I would encourage you to look at the format for your own work, which I also enjoy.
    I wish you well with your week and your writing

Thank you that you did not hinder the imagination by adding a picture. This is a treat when a poet allows the images to flow from the reader. Thank you.

phill, I am partial to the culture, music and dance of Spain, and I feel like you captured it so perfectly with the subtle images, colors and sounds of that culture. I loved the style of this verse as well. Holly

Hi Phil,I am again in awe of your technical prowess, and your painstaking commitment to achieving perfection. You have captured the passion and sensuality of the Spanish dance so well, with images like "her red, his black-their honeyed lust" and "his torso twists in arch and swerve". Well done, and a pleasure to read.
