I LOVE POETRY!

Time for another contest. This one involves one of my favorite genres - poetry!
There are no rules, besides the one that states:
The piece needs to be a poem. Obviously!
That means anything goes - and as those who entered my last contest know, I adore erotica, love, and just plain twisted content!
There is no limit to how many times each person may enter, and no limit to number of total entries. So go for it!
I want to read some poems!

Contest is Over

    Can I enter a collection of poems as an entry, or would you rather me enter each poem seperately?

      I would much rather you enter them separately, so that each poem can be judged on its own merit. Thanks!

      As long as they are your own originally written song lyrics, go for it!
