Hesitant Recoil

For this contest I’m asked to abide by the rules and thus I sit and pen my thoughts obediently but cannot check the renegade’s sweet rebellion Limit cussing and cursing: however I am told that people who swear are profound not profane No erotic poetry: but once Eros is tamed Thanatos prevails says a slippery Freudian New poem: yet life is a cycle and true stories have no beginning Date name and sponsor: A fig leaf instead to hide sensual muse Cursory token when flipping salvation Blame the prompter for devious words Is imprecation blasphemous? Is romance risqué is erogenous lewd? Concession for praise where it belongs! Conclusions: I vow to wash my mouth with lubricant . . . Copulation extrapolates couplets and rhymes . . . I’m grateful for rulers because they help with the lines . . . 30th May 2019 Contest: What makes you flinch Sponsor Julie Leigh Rodeheaver
