Thank you so much! I wrote it in a class called The Body Electric.

Love it! Fun wordplay, sexy energy. It reminds me a bit of this poem I recently posted here, also likening a woman’s body to a musical instrument. You may enjoy checking this one out:

"Just

one

note"

Love this, and the idea of the body as an instrument for music. Thank you for sharing, Sage!

Thanks for the appreciation! Just out of curiosity, would you remind me, when will we hear the winners of the Poet of the the Year contest? I submitted 10 poems, although I don’t recall off the top of my head whether this was one of them…. I do think I included at least one spicy one, though! 😉

I love the wonderful community you have (co)created!

Yes! Feeling this, too. This poem says so much while leaving so much unsaid.
