    Very erotic ampoule.

    To all: I didn't think so much could be done with this image. I was lazy, but I am going to work on a poem myself.

    Thank you NickAdams. That's exactly how I feel when I eat a cupcake.

    Hi All

    It's nice to see a good many poet sending in their beautiful poems on the topic,,,,however, no one yet seems to have caught the idea in my mind behind the picture posted !! However, regardless of what's in my imagination the poets have so far very efficiently rendered their thoughts into a colorful bouquet of poesy . Shall we fix the closing date as Ist of next month? Please let me have your thoughts ,,,

    best wishes
    Maz

    Your decoration is left upon my lips,

    Coming to my senses, I look around
    To see if anyone is watching, but
    All I see is a luscious, fluffy pyramid
    Waiting to be claimed by me.

    I'm not sure if I should be posting this, since it sounds to me very far-fetched. But having spent an afternoon in a house where they were weeping dirges for a dead relative, and then seeing this picture-- it inevitably reminded me of this poem by Wallace Stevens. So this was what came up:

    On The Emperor of Ice Cream

    The only emperor is the emperor of ice cream.
    - Wallace Stevens, The Emperor of Ice Cream


    Concupiscent cups, if not the dreams we see,
    do at least serve in our hours of honesty.
    The empire still in us remains.
    The emperor of ice cream with taut fists reigns.


    Why, then, the needless masquerades,
    if passion in passion is made and remade,
    cups in cups held firm and free-
    building up to heights of satiety?


    Deaths never die, but won’t they fade
    in such raw life? Won’t they be the narrowest shade
    in arrays of sunshine on olive leaves?
    The Faiths are balks in what a man truly believes.


    And Causes: the divine by which we live to feign.
    The emperors of ice cream with taut fists reign.





    I hope i didnt spoil the jolly party.

    Question:

    Has there been a due date set for this contest? (Just curious even though I've already entered)

    Thank you, Fifth. I love being that way.


    Maz...I think waiting for the 1st of May is too long. I am so anxious to hear what your thoughts are on your picture.

    thanks a lot, Symphony, for your welfare thought,,,,am okay now but yet on steroids

    I think every person is born innocent --he or she transforms into another personality according to susceptibility of his mind (and heart) with awareness (or ignorance)

    cheers!
