Challenge
Dear Prosers, I dare you write about the erotic, an almost taboo topic for poets in Prose. You can come up with either a piece of prose or a poem indeed. “Writing The Erotic” Brainstorm a list of mundane activities not usually though of as erotic--washing the dishes or the car, mowing the lawn, going to the dentist. Now, make a list of nouns associated with that activity. Then make a list of verbs and adjectives that you associate with sex. Stir everything together, and make the mundane activity sound positively orgasmic. (Activity taken from “The Poet’s Companion” by Kim Addonizio & Dorianne Laux)

In the midst of their action clothes were torn and discarded shamelessly as each moment were conjured into perfection. Their bodies played a steady rhythm; fingers to keyboard, and stop occasionally only to speed up with more systematic pleasure. The ingredients molded together forming perfection yet neither of them wanted to let go; they were aiming for an intense climax. Watchful eyes anticipated the moment staring giddily on hating as they stubble occasionally on cliffhangers. Moments later the bliss of the writers spirituality is finally accepted as both mind and hardcopy has been satisfied.
