ritornelle: shy, sly shadows

0 observations

One of a series of very short pieces the poet has worked on over the past few years, using the musical term for a short interlude composition to classify them together.

ritornelle: shy, sly shadows

tempt me,
do not exempt me
from your ultimate intention.
I wait.
I...hesitate,
uncertain of my reception.

    Explaining the Tags

    You will note, gentle reader, that all works under this blog now display "tags" to help classify and assign the works for your review and enjoyment.

    These largely fall into 4 categories:

    Year of writing, e.g. "1999"
    Book published in, e.g. "from an unexpected quarter"
    Inspiring muse, e.g. "Aubergine"
    Genre, e.g. "erotica"

    We are still in the process of cleaning up the tags, so please bear with us. Yes, some muses are classified under more than one tag, some poems appear in more than one book, or not yet in any volume, and some years are...hazy.
