The Birth (For Poetry Pot Luck: Muse, Art, Music, and Poetry)


                              Painting by  Leonid Afremov  http://www.afremov.com/



Crying between rhythmic thighs
Stroked legato, gently
Uninterrupted, long and smooth
Then quickly, sharp, staccato
Pleasurable whines, whimpers
Strung tight, perfect fifths

Passionate fingertips caress neck, glissando
Rising, falling, seamless
Air flows, in and out, of F-holes
Her bow, a perfect touch, taut
Orgasmic vibratos
They’re one.

Muses celebrate in multi-colored frenzies
Symphonic life, birthed
Forcing art forefront
From muse's womb
Creation’s water breaks
One last push
Angelic face free
Umbilical leash cut
A slap
Fortissimo

Life born

Absolute brilliance. The metaphoric theme is superb. You have captured intensity throughout.

I just love metaphors that seem to chase each other back and forth through the length of the poem. You did a fantastic job with this!

I am in the mood to change my tree to a cubic version.
