April and National Poetry Month xxoo!

This is the beautiful poster for National Poetry Month 2013...

It has all my favorite things.  Pretty papers and fountain pens.

I'm working on a 12,000 word novella in the moment -- doing the research for that, at any rate called "The Locket" -- it's romantic.  The era of the Romantic poets and so I think this month I'll try to do a romantic and erotic poem each day.  Some of the themes in the book have to do with "The Sublime" and the hunt all the Romantics were on to find it.  Like say, Wordsworth.  I'll more than likely be writing the poems over in WordPress at my blog Valentine Bonnaire if you want to follow along.

In the meantime, that silly poem I wrote last month is up a ERWA...

"a kiss upon the stair" -- you can read that here.http://www.erotica-readers.com/GD/S/Erotic_Poetry.htm

So, I love this picture because it represents many things about the Romantic period in art...

Love as perpetual rose garden of dreams.

Enjoy the poem!

xxoo!

What does Erotica sound like?

One of the most erotic films I've ever seen is "The English Patient."  The love scenes in that film "flare" on the page.  Even in the trailer you get a sense of that fire.

Many many people are too literary to watch pornography.  I don't because there is no appeal in it for me?

I'd rather read something beautifully written and allow my own head to make the pictures for me.  That is what Literary Erotica is all about.

Quality.

Because the people who are writing that can also write poetry.

The man who wrote the film "The English Patient."  Listen to this poem in youtube: The Cinnamon Peeler's Wife."  This is exquisite erotica.

Beautiful.

xxoo!

I just made a new author website for myself -- last night.  It should be up in a day or two?

Pretty exciting!

See what you think?
