I love the pace of that first stanza. Also like the poem afloat on that background.

This is great Erich. It’s that piano lid slam of the last two lines that give these words enormous resonance!

Today #PoemsAbout #Desire with @brokenspinejournal.bsky.social , @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social . I couldn’t help but post another poem. This one is aimed at giving a little chuckle to the theme as well as delving into the meaning of what desire really is.

I wouldn't mind some of my family--and wine--but this doesn't sound like a crowd I'd want to have suddenly pop in! Watching a horror movie sounds much more relaxing! (I'll be in my pjs. 😉)

The short sentences and the repetition are so effective here--leading into that last resonating stanza.

This is a great take on the prompt to start off. Lack focus leading to clarity. And the background.

Beautiful metaphor for 'crossing the line' in so many different ways! And the voice of the poem is powerful! Well done!

I love the quiet insistence of this--"This is where you-are-not-supposed-to lives" the line stepped over. I keep reading this one over and over.

‘you do not see it. It’s not painted or mapped out’ — that insistence draws the reader in. The unseen border becomes a manifesto for difference.

Would love to hear this at an open mic. It wants to be read aloud I think! Beyond this week's prompt its a wonderful dialog about resistance. 👏✨

At first it stopped me, but then I really found it effective how you hyphenated the phrases to turn them into nouns.
