Him & Her



Smooth curvy lines -
bottle green eyes:
her approach hesitant.

His smooth approach
Bottle in hand
Words, bind and capture.

Their chemistry sizzles
- the spell breaks:
Smoothness in shambles!


#############################
In response to the prompt from 3WW
The last three lines edited were
Their chemistry sizzles:
Approach with care -
Bottles break,no more smooth.
*****
got edited to the ones above after
recieving Gautami's comments.
I like the change better too.

I like the first two stanza..

I think, the last lines needs a bit of re-working.

A very clever use of the prompt. I think the edited version is better as you then use all three words in every stanza.

I really don't know how you poets do it! Another gem.

Superb....I must be seeing the edited version because I find the last stanza the seal that binds it all together. Great use of the words.

"bottle green eyes" is an interesting image when you really start to think about it. As a color it could be beautiful for eyes. "bottle" brings up other connotations, though, such as really thick glasses.

Isn't this the way it is oft times? Really like the way you told it, UL.

I loved how it flowed--smoothness in shambles is wonderful

I love the yin-yang approach of incorporating the three words in for both him and her. Nicely worked.

Excellent -- I am loving "bottle green eyes" --

I like the image of bottle-green eyes too.

I have the impression that the smoothness was shattered because they threw themselves at each other. Am I understanding correctly?

UL said...

yes Christine, you got that right.
