LOVE … because of it
WELCOME, WINTERFEST TRAVELERS!
Here are two new images for my poetry and graphics series
Love, Because of It.
The Love, Because of It pages illustrate Vincent and Catherine’s more intimate time together, measured in a romantic (gauzy but not overly graphic) way, accompanied by a favored poem.
Another image in this series created for WFOL 2025 may be seen HERE.
And the entire project is HERE.
(Please note: some images in the series as a whole are more adult than others)
Thank you for visiting today!
HOME EARLY
FLIRTATION
by Rita Dove
After all, there’s no need
to say anything
at first. An orange, peeled
and quartered, flares
like a tulip on a wedgewood plate
Anything can happen.
Outside the sun
has rolled up her rugs
and night strewn salt
across the sky. My heart
is humming a tune
I haven’t heard in years!
Quiet’s cool flesh—
let’s sniff and eat it.
There are ways
to make of the moment
a topiary
so the pleasure’s in
walking through.
