So brilliant, Maggy. Again, I want to go copy-paste crazy, but I'll just do a few -

'hips, bum, calves and the
fleshly furrows that
split me in pieces'

&

'In a chlorine cocoon
I feel weightless and free and I
imagine riding upon the backs of men
echoing pleasure, I am
Godiva, unpeeling before the great
nation of Tropicana
higher and higher I fly
into the
micro-waved sky

a pain explodes between my thighs
I topple over, head to table
father tells me to act my age
a sticky cherry blob
on Ikea white
like
the Japanese flag'

- amazing. Your talent is astounding, I absolutely love your work :)

Thank you so much Rachel, honestly your comments always mean a lot.

You have such a way with words maggy, yet another
piece of poetry that speaks with so much
expression.

Congrats on well deserved cherries.

Thanks for the read.

This is very unique poetry Maggie- quite your style. Every poem you write is magnificent- yes you do have talent- most definitely. Another cherry from me-- ;D

Definitely has your 'hall-mark' on it this one, Maggy. More than well done on the cherries;-)

Maggy! well deserved cherry!
Definitely marvellous talent.
I like stanza
Mother flitters about
I peek at the mouthwash
moon hiding in the dark
and I wait for something that
will explain.
and the word's
Godiva, unpeeling
before the great nation
of tropicano
excellent.Hope the sun is shining for you.xx

Thank you ladies!

This is truly something special Maggy! It got to me from the start and there's so much space it just grows into; I especially loved stanza eight's imagery. I've never seen something quite as stark as "In a chlorine cocoon
I feel weightless and free", it immediately transports the reader to that feeling.
I really loved it altogether though and it reads like a charm, well done :)

thanks a bunch Ephraim, I really appreciate your comments.

Gaah Richard your comments are too much, but thanks!!!

Richard said exactly what I was going to say. How'd he do that? lol. Vivid, woderful and always worthwhile. I love reading your work. You always have something of interest. Has a way of staying with you long after you've finished reading. A oleasure, as always.

Rich

Again I will say your work, your imagery, everything is so unique and somehow it always works.

I so want to know whether it all comes easily to you or if you spend a long time getting it just right...

It doesn't come easily trust me, I spend a lot of time walking around hoping the "idea-bomb" drops on me :)

Another classic maggy. Sexy, humorous and above else real. Many favourites lines have been quoted; as for me I savoured each and every line. Well done.

I love the opening lines especially, and the mouthwash moon is a image that will stay with me for some time!

This is wonderful. You have a unique way of describing the `human condition' which never fails to resonate with me.

This is gorgeous, Maggy. I can very much relate to your narrator, being a curvy girl and having a younger sister who had, until very recently, a long-term boyfriend. I'm sure I'll keep coming back to this one ;-)
