A Poetic Neil Strauss

 No matter how I struggle, I can't

 

catch          manipulate   use

capitivate    twist            love

warp           combine       grace

 

these words like you do.

 

You master them

and they bend to your will.

Like Neil Strauss seducing

with impeccable skill.

 

They open up so easily

exposing every syllable.

Your very gaze parts their lips

every stanza produced kissable.

 

So I snatch up your poems

devour each and every writing.

Alas, I am no Neil Strauss

these letters are less inviting.

I don't know if you should be so envious of others' writing skills; yours are pretty damned good. I thought the way you listed all those words at the beginning was just awesome. I also like the idea of expressing envy for others' poetry by writing a poem. This is just a beautiful and fun poem to read, and I loved every line. Excellent work!

You're an actual poet, so rare a thing.
