baritone

sing for your supper
sing for your sex
sing for the woman
who’ll love you the best
your singing draws her up to you
her face against your chest
she feels the deep down rumble you
and plans to later tumble you
in sheets devoid of rest
sing for your supper
sing for your sex
sing for the woman
who’ll love you the best

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Big Tent Poetry prompt this week was "aphrodisiac."  I thought about things that can get me yearning, and up popped baritone.

Great idea! I had focused on the list of foods & completely forgot about the aphrodisiac qualities of music & voice. Thanks for the memory!

EG-I'll see if I can figure the award out. Thank you for the honor.

After a busy week, I woke up early to do some reading, and the first thing I saw was all of your great comments. The sky is gray and looming, but my heart is full.

This is so catchy and very flirtatious. I liked it a lot.

(Glad you are enjoying the Big Tent!)

This was a terrific response (agree with other's comment about sound), and I couldn't agree more. Like the "deep down rumble you," especially.

The rhyming and repetition is a very nice touch for this lyric, Brenda. Very singable structure.

The rhythm and rhyme makes it sound like music. Nicely done.

I like your poem. I feel the same about wanting to get something written. My poem this week came rather late too...but I am glad I wrote...something.

This reminds me of a jumprope rhyme in it's meter and cadence. Really enjoyed the unique quality of it!
