In love


 IN LOVE

His mouth
Moves around
Her neck, sending shivers
Over her body, her heart quivers
In love


=============================

DOORWAYS

Mouths
Supple, round
Searching, wondering, feeling
Steal hearts and air
Doorways

These are my first attempts at a cinquain for One Stop Poetry -- picture prompt challenge! Thought I would write two different styles of them -- "Doorways" had been removed earlier but thought I should re-post it.

  10. Doorways I think I liked better by comparison. Cool diamante (I think). Here's mine http://thelunaticsdiary.blogspot.com/2010/12/dreams-are-never-eternal.html

  15. I do so like cinquains...can express so much in so few words. Really makes you think for every word you're putting out there. You've utilized them well, and given us a lovely expression.
