Well, a poet named honey haiku started a new (not exclusively haiku) prompt, The Eyelet Review, so I decided to try it out. It seems to be “any forms, anything” for now, at least, but I used the lovely portrait she employed for her poem, “Dalliance,” and tried a different twist. Hope honey likes it!
It's all about role-playing!
Masquerade
Here we are again
Frolicking with no end in sight
This week, we decided to go Bodice-Ripper
and recline here in the woodland
posing as for a portrait
I’ll bet no one would guess
my wicker basket is filled with
chocolates and brandy
crackers and cheese
and several edible condoms!

Hilarious! But how effective would an edible condom be? 🙂

You’d have to have a monogamous, postmenopausal couple… like me and my hubby. You certainly do catch me in the details, Viv! I have no idea, really… 😉

You do know how to make me laugh!
If that was my basket, it would have to contain red wine, crusty bread, aged cheddar and chocolate body paint ( brushes optional.)
😉

Ah, a woman with an imagination! I’m not actually into role-playing, which is what made this fun… but the chocolate body paint sounds like an ideal finger-painting opportunity!! We love saucy broads at this blog! Ha ha, Amy

Love the post. Especially the chocolates, brandy, crackers and cheese.
Thanks for the comments on my blog.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by. Glad you liked this poem and hope you will look up The Eyelet Review and try the prompts! Amy

those were the days – and that’s all you’ll get out of me!

WERE the days? You’re slowin’ down, man, ha ha ha. Unless you actually dress like that every day, in which case, I’m a bit worried! Amy

This is so fun and as you eluded, a bit naughty! Loved the Bodice-Ripper, very lush! Welcome to the Eyelet Review!

I was worried you might take offense, and so glad you didn’t! It was fun having an uber-romantic take as well as a role-playing one. I’ll keep you on my list of prompts. Hope you give ideas as well in the future! Thanks, Amy

Amy – I love this one! Only you! (I wanna go on a picnic like the one you describe!) ☼

Ha! I hope the original author didn’t think I was making fun. I took care to post a proper, well-earned compliment. But you know me, I was made for the bodice-ripping stuff. A real pulp fiction babe, I guess!!!

Naughty girl!

Hee hee hee, I have that wicked streak, for sure!
