not even the stars
can spill such silvery lure —
eyes brimming with mirth,
nightgown slipping from shoulder
leading me deeper than ever
Temptation by Odilon Redon
Today we are writing short poetry at dVerse with Frank. Not more that 5 lines for instance limerick cinquain or tanka.

Now *that* is a hot poem.
I honestly think a brevity prompt *should* birth some of the best poetry out there. I hope they’re all killer. I’d expect nothing less from your expert crew.
Ha.. yes I think hot poems might come a few tonight…
P.S. I love that “De purr” is hiding in your title. 🙂
There might be a few people dashing off for a cold shower after reading this. ☺️

What can I say? Valentine’s Day was yesterday and the silvery lure has spilled over into today. Nice one, Bjorn!
Ha.. yes and when I looked at the tanka examples I realized that love poem fits..
Ah yes, brother–the pit of eros; once in, there may not be definite egress.
But what a wonderful depth it is ….
A lot of silvery imagery in your poetry lately. It makes me think Sweden seductively glistens come wintertime.
I only wish it would… it’s mostly grey
This was wonderful.
Thank you
She is even more alluring than the stars. Laughter in the eyes helps.
Indeed… that’s the best.
Beautiful and romantic, I love how ‘not even the stars can spill such silvery lure’ :o)
Lighthearted though!
You must have good central heating 🙂 Seriously though, I do like the star imagery and the slipping of the nightgown.
Oh…this is so sensuous…..the lure of the stars…and the shift to the nightgown slipping from the shoulder….such a sensuous scene you’ve drawn here.
As beautiful and alluring stars are, yes, people are probably the greatest of creation! Nice warm ooem for cold February.
She was more alluring than the stars, how romantic

Oh—lovely and passionate!
such a lovely, romantic poem with s seasoning of the erotic.
I think cupid has pierced your heart with thoughts of romance.(smiling)
Sounds like a romantic night for sure!

Such a sensual and potent use of brevity. Packs a punch.
Beautifully enticing, and no more words needed.
I think it’s really difficult to write good romantic poetry…this is a good one. (K)
love the unspoken allure in the lure
Proof that brevity is the spice of life
You brought out the sexuality and the ‘heat’ and the vision of the night all in 5 lines. Loved it!
Beautifully written, paints the picture wonderfully.
Sultry and sensual. I’m late to this but will add mine anyway.

Oooo, love this love poem, Bjorn. Well done.
very alluring and intoxicating, ahh I know the intensity a bared shoulder can create, your poem was just as intense. nice!
A love more spectacular than the stars…that is a love to hold on to.
…not even the stars. A lot conveyed in 5 short lines. Lovely! and the colors in that painting are gorgeous.
This is absolutely beautiful. The brevity actually adds a punch to it.
hungry and calculated… sexy.
