It is always a joy to read a good erotic poem. I would say that I always look forward to reading Magaly's poems. Somehow she manages to find a way of exploring the erotic in most every poems she writes. What a wonderful talent it takes to be able to do this.<br /><br />Rosemary, interesting observation regarding the book you were editing. Indeed, I think, good erotic should show - not tell. I can understand why the particular book mentioned might have fallen a bit flat.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-42914544459629383932018-06-30T09:13:43.687-04:002018-06-30T09:13:43.687-04:00Oh yes, 'honesty of emotion' – that makes ...Oh yes, 'honesty of emotion' – that makes perfect sense.

Or, when it comes to certain pieces, as horror. Until readers started to point out that my love-poems left them searching for a fan or a cold shower or their lovers. And how the darker pieces left them searching for the light-switch. <br /><br />I think, that when it comes to erotic writing, just like any other writing, we just need to practice honesty of emotion. When we do, the garden blooms what feels and it does it lusciously. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the wave, Rosemary love.
