Sex In Tucson

Hmmm....

Looking from the veranda I saw a million twinkling lights

700,000 people where chasing sex

70,000 people were having sex

7,000 people were making love

700 people were satisfied

70 people were happy

7 people died

 

Here I am thinking about sex in Tucson

As the ambulance blares it's sad siren song

Where is that wife of mine

Tonight, the number 70 is my lucky number

Author's Note

Here at the same resort I was when I first wrote this piece...its beautiful.

A little thought I had while sitting on the Veranda of a resort hotel in Tucson...thanks for the review, you are very gracious!

Wonderful use of words and I liked how you found the proper ending. You gave the numbers, reason and purpose. Thank you Crowley for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I'm so disappointed that only 1 in 10 were satisfied and of those 10, only one was happy. Maybe Tucson is lacking in romantic lovers? But now you're there so change it up for them. Okay? Hope the wife comes back soon.

[Crowley]

lol, not likely she was probably still at the bar with a glass of wine in her hand... Thanks Fabian!!!

[Gee]

Lol, must be a man thing wondering as to who is doing what :)
I would hope to be grouped in with the 70, definitely not the 7.
Like this muchly.
Good morning Crowley

[Crowley]

lol...thanks man, just ramblings of a man deep in thought.

Love the creativity here and oh yes please, to be one of the seventy. Amazing what thoughts you can come up with when you window gaze.

lucky for sure.

[Crowley]

It is my quest...Thanks man!!!

[Eve]

It's short and straight to the point. I really like it. I especially liked how you ended the piece, simply stating that night was a good night. A good break from the regular pain-filled poems. Amazing in its own way.

[Crowley]

Thanks Eve!!!

[sette]

very creative and very passionate as always... need i say more?

[Crowley]

Hey girl!!! Thanks!!!

Well written and very creative. As is the piece you wrote. Much too old to indulge in your choice of distraction, but I remember reading about it. But then, it doesn't take so much external distraction these days, as I am already lost in thought much of the time. Some of it, I write down -- and some of that with observations and recommendations. And I have come to judge less sternly, since most daily inspiration seems new because yesterday's has passed from view. Really enjoyed path to the math.

[Crowley]

Thank you !!! That’s a great review. I need come visit and read of few of those thoughts!

[bigfootprint]

Thank you, it is good to be active again with postings and reviews. I have tried several poetry sites, and this one is proving best.

I have always had a love affair with 7's and 4's...I guess I should stick with the latter :)

Ps. there is that kinky boots thought again...you musta kept your shoes on!

[Crowley]

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]
