Well done poem. and great art goes with it. "blistering" flame sounds hurtful - would you say "deftly brands my skin" - or another word that denotes pain perhaps?
Good job.

Yvette,

You are such a fantasy-filled chick. I have to wonder what your dreams are like. hahaha I am so literal and grounded - and you simply ...
F. L. Y...

It's beautiful to watch, actually. *smile*

Wish I had more of it. Thanks so much and good luck!

    I think it's the blonde hair and the math... don't know of any other excuse..LOL! ;) :) And dreams... they used to be imagination starters and more, but as of late? I don't remember a damn thing!! Wake up with adrenaline pumping sometimes and have no idea why.... frustrating, actually.... and I've got to get back to writing after this weekend (last graduation and family visiting... at least for a while on the latter) so that I can 'fantasize' again!! ;);) So glad you like... makes it all the more worthwhile! ;) ;) Take care! ;) Yvette

Good luck with the contest Yvette. I really enjoyed this, the words seemed to say so much and the picture was phenomenal. I do hope you do not mind if I bookcase this, some postings just sort of grab me. Well done.

Well, here you go, making your 5-7-5 sound like a real poem, while my entry reads like copy for an ad in comparison. As I recall, I managed to work in the 3-syllable "rodentia" into my entry about my Guinea pig's fondness for shredded carrots, meanwhile, you are throwing around feathers alight with blistering flames. I hereby wave my white flag. ;-) Beautifully done!

    LOL! ;) I can't help myself...when this company goes home at the end of graduation weekend, I'm gonna BREATHE!! :) :) I'm like some wild animal just ready to be done with the END of this year... ugh! ;) And the rodentia was great... we older gals have to live vicariously through our writing, don't cha know! :) Take care out there and I'm glad your summer's begun! ;) ;) Yvette

    Thanx for stopping in on this one, RM -- fantasies certainly come in all different flavors and don't have to be 'in your face' with the sensual.... I like the subtle approach... LOL! :) :) ;) Take care! ;) Yvette

I enjoyed reading this poem, with a very eye-catching picture and writing. I would give you six stars if I had it, but I don't at the moment. Thanks for sharing your unique creativity!

This is a strikingly sexual image, which I mean as a compliment. The feathers appearing as flames (or vice versa) is startling but also enticing, and then it is brought together with a soft brand on skin. Nice work.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Mmm, sensuous, erotic in words and wonderful art. Uplifting on a spiritual, esoteric level, the realms of lucid dreaming - takes us beyond the mundane, daily trials and tribulations, reminds us to find and trust the light within, ascend like Phoenix, be born again, follow our dreams and passions.
Great to start this day with, as not feeling exactly upbeat, so thank you for giving me this 'boost', love and light Susan xxx

    Thanks Yvette for de(light)ful response and I totally agree with what you say, oh yeah!
    Good news - I have found a sweet little house with little private garden, at last, so within about 3 months I shall be moving, thank God! Love and best Susan x
