MILDLY EROTIC

We're invited to explore erotica for Poetics Tuesday.
I'm reminded of a courtly old southern gentleman
who once explained it to me thusly, "Ah always say,
Miss Beverly, if the wit outweighs the vulgarity it's
a good story".  I pretty much agree.  For my offering,
 a pair of mildly bawdy limericks.

********************

There once was a fellow quite charming
Who went by the name of Bruce
He was attracted to all the girls
But preferred the ones who were loose

***********
There once was a lady named Sadie
Who was wondrously well endowed
Her friend was smartest in the class
But it was Sadie who drew a crowd

  6. I wondered how you would handle this challenge ... humor is a good way to go. I am stymied as I have family who read my poems.

  10. I have been writing a romantic dreamy erotica in my fiction, which tends to pack in a lot of emotion. I really like to attempt a more bawdy or "slap & tickle" style sometimes just for some relief, especially in poetry. It's fun in comparison with the emotion that goes into some of my other work.

  13. You have to laugh, don't you? Even at the most sacred of institutions.
