I lo...Angelina, that's so funny about your cat! I love, love, love Ray Bradbury, who wrote pure prose poetry. I do think poetry helps inspire lyrical writing. I like Rumi a lot, and Walt Whitman.

It's out of print so I'll share it here.<br /><br />I liked that<br />Sitting on the bathroom floor<br />Watching you take a bath<br />Talking to you.<br /><br />I stuck my hand<br />In the water and slowly<br />Moved my fingers along<br />The softness of your thigh.<br /><br />I took handfuls of water,<br />Spilled them over your<br />Milk and silken shoulders,<br />Enjoying the gentle <br />Sensuousness of your skin<br />Slick with water<br /><br />You had your hair pinned up<br />In lovely disorder<br />To keep from getting it wet<br />And you played as you talked<br />Little splashes<br />With your fingertips<br /><br />Talking a bath,<br />I liked that,<br />And I don't even remember<br />Anything we said.Jaye Robin Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929739858812153990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078278410744887002.post-79349634987586551872011-12-30T09:51:43.612-08:002011-12-30T09:51:43.612-08:00I love reading poetry.
