An Ultra Violet Poem

remnants like wolf hell
in full-bellied ghost mass
hold promise of perfect heaven,
flesh roseate and silver.

I promise never to refuse the sensuous wolf.

A Double Whammy Poem #Caboodle #Portmanteau

Tone it Down

You tempted me
hanging there coolly.
Casting shade just the way I liked
in a way that made me want you. 
I filled my eyes
pretended distraction elsewhere
but I kept coming back to you. 
And yet so many others
charmed me too. 
It became harder to choose.
Moments passed.
You like…? asked the man
holding out
cerulean blue
inkwells of ultra-violet
emerald, crimson.
Hues so true my heart sighed.
Just give me the whole caboodle, I said.

Please also check out my response to last weekend’s Sammi prompt below. I would have posted it earlier but it was fiddly af and I only just got round to finishing it. I have numbered each sentence so it’s easier to follow, and also included the verse below.

The rightful owner of this portmanteau
is nimbly devouring
the hopes we find so comforting.

He made an ass of me.
What ist thou doing now
we must go and ponder on the mountain,
how to bring him to heel.

He is a master of misdemeanour.
The goatherd knows it too.
By the way,
have you seen my mule?
