Naturally Alise’s Blog Poetry Slam 2: Thirst

Welcome to the second blog poetry slam hosted by myself, Naturally Alise. The last slam was bananas!!! I was overjoyed with the participation, the variety and quality of the poetry that was produced. I felt so proud to be surrounded by such greatness! Any-hoo, today’s word/theme is:

THIRST

glass of water in the desert thirst poetry

got water?

Below will be a poem I already have to give you an example of what to do, I will join you guys in the comments with a new piece. I can’t wait to see the responses!!!

I nearly slid on your cunning linguistics
Every syllable whet my desire for each word to come
Oh yes, I was intrigued by your flow…
Or should I say I was impressed with the fluidity of your passionate parlance Riding at the crest of your high tide,
Intoxicated from your moon shining on me,
The gravity of your speech pulling waves of passion through my inner ear Crashing onto my desert island shore
Syllables ebbing and flowing on my memory banks,
Irrigating my inspiration…
I think I now have found my lyrical oasis
Quenching my thirst for poetry.
