Poem: "after the humans"

Dec 12, 2010 03:35

This poem came out of the December 7, 2010 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from natasiakith and janetmiles.

Here the waters of the Earth are personified as women. While not vulgar, this poem is rather wanton, so I'll put it below a cut.

A common trope is being disgusted at the thought of your parents having had sex, or continuing to do so. Should we be disgusted at the thought of Mother Nature and Father Time having sex? :-D

I like.

The images used fit very well with the bodies of water.

Yay! ysabetwordsmith December 17 2010, 19:38:24 UTC

I'm glad to hear that. I put a lot of thought into matching the imagery to the aspect of water.

Oh, this is fun! What a party. I like the images.

Thank you! ysabetwordsmith December 17 2010, 19:38:43 UTC

Yeah, it sounds like a party I'd enjoy, too.
