Sweat sitting sticky
in a shallow pool rippling.
With each breath inhaled
the hollow between her breasts
fills deeper again.
That hidden tremor
running from calf to rib-cage,
echoed with a groan
that rumbles through to marrow
deep and guttural.
Knees converted into hooks,
grappling for contact
drawing deeper into sheets
they hold, lock, engage.
Nails drawing across a scalp
and hair thick between fingers
something for purchase.
lips, tongue and teeth, clash, curl, bite,
praises, curses, moaned.
gasping for air or for words,
muscles arching back
drawn to breaking point, to snap.
Sweat sitting sticky,
that hollow between her breasts
kisses press lazily up.
Thursday night over at the DVerse Poets Pub is form night, and tonight we’ve been challenged to write a Choka which is a Japanese style of poem. It words on an alternating 5-7 syllable count with an extra 7 syllable line at the end.
I decided to combine the Choka form with today’s Daily Prompt: Temptation.

What a steamy choka…
Thank you. 🙂
Oh, I love this…such crisp depiction and detail, knees like hooks, fingers raking through a scalp of hair…all the senses straining, excellent. I also liked how you used the beginning line in the last verse.
Thank you.
Wow, Carol! Steady girl!
The steam is thick….well done, loved it.
Thank you. 🙂
Whew! That was some pretty intense imagery 🙂
Thank you.
Nothing like a bit of eroticism with a bowl of soup for lunch!
Haha, glad you think so.
at first reading wondered if it was fear we were witnessing – fear of the little death perhaps! Engagingly erotic starting with that lovely alliterative first line
“Sweat sitting sticky”
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the first line. I was mulling over what to write and that was the first bit that popped into my head.
[…] Midnight: A Choka […]
Nicely written. Love the circular close.
Thank you.
This was wonderful, erotic, sensual! I love it.
