The Invitation
poem
A weekend of sex and conversation,
At a neutral site. You choose, if you like.
“Maybe the sex but I don’t want to talk.”
“What would we do when we’re not in bed?”
We’d read, and go for long, solo walks.

line spacing is weird.. but maybe you also have problems with it, I certainly end up with line spacing that is not what I wanted when I edit or rephrase etc.
if you copy the following text and paste it you will get rid of the extra empty lines between lines.
well have I seen this before? nice poem.

yes, the spacing was weird and not what i intended. i’ve tightened it up (you know my computer literacy) and feel like this is better anyway. thanks.
A weekend of sex and conversation sans the conversation is my kinda invitation. Hope the reading and long solo walks were as stimulating as… Short and to the point, you’ve captured the essence of your subject without any extraneous distractions. Well done, Swep.
thank you Glen. after the 8 S. poems, and two or three pieces like A WOMAN I WANT and TO YOU, NOW, there were still wisps of feeling and thought to clean up, hence this poem and another one or two like it. there’s nothing as stimulating as a smart, sexual woman who likes you. thanks.
Thanks for posting this.
When was it written?
I’d love to hear the story behind it
written in the last 18 months, at the stuttering end to a 4 yrs relationship. two people brought together by poetry and sex, and a simple need for someone roughly like themselves. the lady referenced is the S. of an 8 poem sequence of which all are in my archive, FOR S., 8 POEMS. thanks for reading, Swep
