MEMBER POEM OF THE DAY

Vulcan Steam Curtain
byMyNAh_27
Morning  forest  dew streamed down,
our faces as a sibilant forever plumed forth.
Lovers drawn to the azimuth of tender longing.
A snapshot in the coppice of intrigue.
Recklessly we cast aside the peril of bush and spinney.
Vaulting over severed logs while bounding twisted stumps.
Neither stiff end spine and prickle,
nor oxalic nettle sting can hold us back.
The earth shook in rhythm to our intense flight.
A stunned squirrel leapt in an  arc of  silver trapeze.
Brume above maple leaf bole standing  tall.
Faint constellation in the southern sky barely noticed.
Caelum free float …. engraver's chisel of dusk dawn and daylight.
Cosseter of eternal  flame.
Vulcan  steam curtain to an endless  dash.
Shedding all constraint  with utter joy.
Venus flytrap gobbling  every glance.
Daddy long legs wily web left quaking  as we roamed.
Love bite, mosquito bite, heady times ahead.
Leafy mesh of  habitat a given.
Fumarole  of passion fully sated,
with hot sulphur in its wake.
Ecstasy in the wild, the pull of the wild.
Forever and a day, on this day and for days to come
