Eliese (eddy styx) mild
Eliese
in the bright noonday sun
her hair was the color
of creamy golden caramel
tilting her head to peer up at me
long lashes lacing each other
on her peach blushing cheek
just dusting her captivating skin
she looked good enough to eat
(so I bit her...)
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction):
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Last few words:
For those who don't know, eddy styx is my male, twisted alter ego.

Dearest Cat...
the end lines project the fore lines ...it brings out the over powering natural human instinct to bite or taste whatever one likes....and the title "Eilese" by itself is so very delicate and savory...it lifts the poem even further..
