The memory of it still lingers
Like sticky nectar on our fingers
Made the more so in summer’s heat
From the vain attempts to sluice
Our chins of honeyed peaches juice
But in a moment replete
Under the fading eye of Sol
We heed the thrill to shun control
The stolen kiss even more sweet

dVerse Poets Pub | Poetics: Prelude to a Kiss
Today at dVerse the challenge from Kim (Kim881), is to write a poem about kissing, a special kiss that still haunts you, a peck, a snog, a kiss hello or a kiss goodbye. Whatever it is, try to capture the wordless intimacy of the act.
And this stolen kiss comes via the Nove Otto
The Nove Otto poetry form is a nine-lined poem with 8 syllables per line (isosyllabic). The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabccbddb

The first stolen kiss this evening, Raivenne, and I’m impressed that it comes via the Nove Otto. I love the rhymes and the metaphor of honeyed peaches and sticky nectar.
Thank you, Kim!
