Hello, dear Wordsmiths –
and a happy change of season to you all! With, hopefully, relief from extreme weather. Here in Australia we’re much looking forward to Autumn bringing an end to stinking heat and violent rain. In the Northern Hemisphere, I expect you are glad to get out of the cold as Spring begins.
Meanwhile, a friend just sent me a startling message. Going through her past poems, she was disconcerted to find an erotic ode to a new sock! (Begging the intriguing question of why ONE sock and not the pair – she has two feet) I realised I could easily wax lyrical about my latest bedsox.
How about you?
(Then I read my friend's sock poem and understood why it’s just one – the sock is addressing the foot, enumerating the services it will give and the comforts it offers, and even noting that it must bring its sister too. It’s a brilliant and wonderful poem, which I am not sharing with you here as she plans to publish it at some point.)
Your prompt this week is to write a sensual piece about an item of clothing.

My sensually satisfying, warm and tender bedsox.
Those socks are neat, do they have walking soles as do the hospital sock. They are enticing (not).

But your write did keep my attention. Thanks for hosting.

Yes, my bedsox do have little sparkly stud things on the soles to make them non-slip. You're welcome, and glad you enjoyed my write.
DeletePS Not enticing? For men it's the looks; for women it's the tactile sensations. :-D
DeleteThey look very enticing to the feet.
DeletePK
Ha ha, that's true.
DeleteIn the right hands, an old sock can be sensual!
ReplyDeleteOr on the right (and even left) feet?
DeleteHi - Just found this site last week on a return to writing. Enjoyed the prompt . Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome. Glad you've joined in.
DeleteThis is an interesting prompt undoubtedly
ReplyDeleteTime for a bit of fun, I thought.
DeleteCan't wait to dive into this one!! Happy Friday (or Saturday) poets!!
ReplyDeleteSame to you, Helen. I'll be over to read you shortly.
DeleteMine came out like an advertising jingle...well I do sell cozy, comfortable cotton things, and this winter I designed myself a tabard-style warm sweater that would keep me warm while writing on a screen porch. I like it and plan to offer more for sale. Anyway, the poem came out to about 350 words, so I put the prose notes at the end this time!
ReplyDeletePK
This sounds most intriguing; can hardly wait to read.
DeleteOr no clothing?
ReplyDeleteDepends how sensual one wishes to get, I suppose. Air, water or sunlight on skin can of course be lovely.
