My Sweet Little Thing

Summary:

Written for the GOetry club created by my dear Moon isiaiowin, from the GOAD writers guild.

Prompt for last week: write Black Out poetry.

Notes:

  • A translation of Amours by Casanova

Blackout poetry is a creative writing form that involves taking an existing text and creating poetry by selectively redacting certain words. The remaining words form a new poem, with the visual element of the blacked-out sections adding to the overall aesthetic.

Work Text:

his mouth always adorned with the most delightful smile

 

magnificent

 

his lips

 

his graceful attentiveness

 

the sound of his voice

 

his sparkling gentleness

 

his charms

 

this ineffable harmony held me in seventh heaven

 

in the contemplation of this attractive marvel

 

of nature

 

who laid before my eyes

 

fully absorbed as he was

 

he knew the pull of his charms

 

he savoured the sweetness they provided

 

.

 

my love

 

came to bring me

 

a delicacy

 

.

 

he loves me

 

.

 

I was sending him kisses

 

over and over
