Ménage `A Trois Italia
Fiery lover Vesuvius
courted Pompeii and Herculaneum,
Sisters two
Laid out in sunny Italia
Centuries in warm embrace
Vesuvius and his consorts
Herculaneum and Pompeii,
Sisters two
Frolicked in bright Italia
Until the fiery passion of his love
erupted, ending in hot embrace of
Herculaneum and Pompeii,
Sisters two
Surrendered in heated Italia
Mighty Vesuvius covered them in
His passionate spew and
they repose there still
in sunlit Italia
Vesuvius and the Sisters two.
An example of double-entendre. . . nice.
Thank you, Nancy!
Quite a fiery ménage á trois, Jack! 🙂
Thanks, Jean!
This is lovely! I didn’t know you wrote poetry, too. I love the style and, of course, the theme. Have you any more poetry hidden away?
Thank you, milliethom. I do share an occasional poem or two…putting together enough for a book, actually.
That will be great! What a versatile writer you are. I’ll look forward to reading it. (I’m still doodling around with my flash fiction book and will probably get that published before Book 3 of my trilogy.) Hope the Muse is with you at the moment.
Thank you, milliethom. I’m pleased you are moving ahead with publication of your flash fiction work–it is so wonderfully interesting. It would be worth reading though it would mean I’d have to wait a bit longer to read your Book 3 in the trilogy… My Muse goes AWOL occasionally; hope yours stays home with you more often. 🙂
My Muse sounds much the same as yours, Jack. This year it’s visiting a little more often than last, but somehow it’s still spending time too much time swanning around elsewhere. 🙂
Great metaphor, Jack. Vesuvius certainly had a destructive embrace. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
Appreciate that, Suzanne! 🙂
You’re welcome, Jack. 🙂
