Holy ... WOW!!!!! You know red's my favorite color. I see anything red, I want it, I go crazy, it has a hold on me like I cannot explain. This piece was just so captivating & beautiful Favorited!!
I like this type of poetry. The description open the door to imagination and nice visions. A woman had many tools to attract a man. A beautiful smile and lips can turn a man around. Very nice description in the excellent poem.

Flowers are such teases! I love the metaphor and idea of the flowers being sexually alluring. The flower's name is very politically incorrect now - perhaps it should be renamed e.g. 'woman who likes kissing' ?
