Replace concrete nouns with abstract ones


I let my hand rest gently
on your locomotion as you exhaled.
With each breath, I could see your life force
rising
and falling
inside your blouse.
Meanwhile, in my trousers,
my urgency became substance.
I licked my parched half-of-an-uncompleted-kiss;
you slowly blinked your soft blue perceptions.
Finally, we fell into one another’s manipulations of the physical world
and literally made love.

  1. That is *so* hot. Half-of-an-uncompleted kiss is a child's genitals, right?

  2. And that, right there, is the problem with abstracts.

  4. Love the blog. Ever read Queneau's Exercises de Style? Same kind of mad genius except it's the same scene written in hundreds of different ways.

  6. Hope you enjoy! Your latest post reminded me of him even more. I know I've already said it, but your blog is GENIUS! And fabulously light relief in these dark days of November. Loved the Flanders and Swan post - always been huge favourites of mine.

  7. Thanks for helping me realize I'm a bad writer.

    This is exactly what I did for nearly 5 chapters of my last book. Eeek.

  8. I'm late to the party, I know, as I've only just learned about this blog, but I had to say to this one...

    That so reminds me of The Eye of Argon. It's almost frightening. *grin*

  9. To be honest, the last line is actually kind of poetic >.>
