[Note: I’m on vacation in what may be very limited internet service so this is a pre-recorded and (I very much hope!) a self-publishing post. I may not have much opportunity to reply to comments but you’re comments are still very welcome. I’ll reply as soon as I can. You’re some of the best commenters in the blogsphere so you’re always welcome to respond spiritedly but respectfully to each other’s comments while I’m away. —fl]

Things I love about boxer shorts:
Useless fly
That lets in curious fingers.
Wide legs
Wide enough for an exploring hand.
But mostly,
You underneath!

Wonderful how your undies look stretched tight
Around your hips, yes, or
Around your thighs, or
Around your knees, and
Especially
Around your ankles

In the middle of so many hard words it’s surprising to discover: Indoctrination aside, sitting side by side people are suspiciously soft. And subversively warm! (25 words)

Siren, catching me by my ears
Bound me to my mast
Her voice ringing my unstopped ears
She sang “Look”
Maddening my eyes
With hers

Whenever she reaches under the counter
Her top falls open
Just as her hair falls off her shoulder
To block all light

Figleaf? We ain’t got no figleaf!
We don’t need no figleaf!
I don’t have to show you any stinking figleaf!

My hand rests softly against your skin, heating the curves where hip meets spine. Held there when we danced. Back to begin a different dance.

You first broke the ribbons
and then broke the thread
so that’s why there’s rope
on each post of the bed

Ever notice how masturbation and sex with others scratches such different itches there’s hardly any overlap? More of one doesn’t mean less of the other. (25 words)

25-words or less from readers

So the other day I ressurected an extremely short (non-poetic) story form based on the question “What turns you on in 25 words or less?” (See previous examples) and got a pleasant surprise: contributions from readers!

I like the form a lot because you only have room to communicate the bones of an erotic idea and that leaves readers free to let their imaginations, and their own preferences, fill in the rest.

From Cathy

For seven years my eyes had not seen and my ears had not heard the message your goodbye kiss sent straight through to my toes. (25 words)

From E

The sound of your voice saying my name, intimately close yet miles away, like an ephemeral touch of your fingers on my skin. (23 words)

And from P. Burke

He asked me to hit him, so I did. It left a bright red mark. Years later, I suspect he still masturbates to that memory. (25 words)

Feel free to chime in either here in comments or elsewhere.

Update — contributions from comments here.

From Danielle

At our goodbye, he kissed my cheek, hugged me, let his hand linger at my hip longer than entirely appropriate. I savored the sweet frisson. (25 words)

From Cathy

I notice your strong hands and thighs and imagine my bare bottom rising to meet your spanks, humping the invisible cock to relieve the sting. (25 words)

From Tambopaxi

My god! The way she looked at me! I felt a warmth in my chest and a tightness in my pants. (21 words)

From E

Dream of my mouth on you: the last thing you say as we part. Lonely, I catch my breath and am wet in an instant. (25 words)
