A Challenge Met

This? Is Turlough's fault.

To B's A, from CK

O moon! a pearly gleam midst darkest night,
O succulence more lush than Southern peach is,
Promise of love and sated appetite,
Be generous, your supplicant beseeches.
O tempting tush, as sweet as any lass's,
Silken and firm, to thus my verse inspire;
Ripely convex, most bountiful of asses,
Accommodate the swell of my desire.

O vision sweet of callipygian splendour
Fit to the hand, and fit, I hope, to mine,
Let me apply my strokes to curves so tender,
And see the blushing cheeks incarnadine,
Yield to my touch and bend in sweet surrender
And bid me welcome where the sun doth shine.

...eeep! Oh, that's just perfect. Now I feel like printing it out and displaying it on my walls (and change the CK to a JC, but nevermind that).

*giggles* As I failed to sneak the word 'trick' in there anywhere, you may attribute it to whomsoever you wish ;-)

EEEEEEEE!!!! It's a wonder of perfection!!! (And I had to look up "callipygian" and "incarnadine" so it has also enriched my knowledge of the English language :-)

O succulence more lush than Southern peach is

Perfect indeed!!! You have fullfilled my challenge beyond my wildest dream!

I fancy you won't be needing callipygian *that* often (I've only ever used it in sonnets, as far as I recall, but it's a wonderful word!), and I had to check on 'incarnadine' myself.

Glee. Piecing this together enlivened the minutes of waiting for *yawn* lectures on the Mathematics courses at sundry universities.

And of course, you have a proper icon for it.

callipygan is just a more attractive word in both form and meaning than dasypygal .....

[pensnest]

And now I've learned something, because I didn't know dasypygal... not sure how much use it will be, but they say no knowledge is wasted!

And it struck me last night after I'd turned off the computer, that your English really is amazing.

*blush* Thank you! My English vocabulary probably is rather large, after all I've been reading books in English almost exclusively since I was in my teens. It's mostly passive though since my experience in writing (or speaking English!) are far less extensive. This year on LJ has really been very good training and I don't get stuck being unable to articulate what I mean nearly as often now as I did just six months ago.

Admittedly, I didn't understand half of the words, but even I can see that it's very poetic and full of love.

:-) I do tend to pull out the polysyllables for sonnets. It's fun, though!
