What I love about your writing is how much your words challenge me lol I have to access parts of my brain that are now mostly focused on raising a child lol and integrate this new information / new vocabulary and I love it. I love how I have to take a step back, read it a couple of times, listen to your voice and then gain a whole other meaning from it. The sensuality, connection, amorous love is there but I'm so interested in how you form these strings of words -- honeycomb licks, mist of lunar compassion, thalassic eyes... I can go on and on... how you build these worlds, they exist in other galaxies. Your poetry is simply otherwordly Jennae ✨🐝🌌

Aw Joscelyne this is such a sweet message to receive. I so deeply appreciate the time and care you take to sink into my poetry and unravel the many layers. It’s a poet’s dream to have readers like you that truly sit with the words and turn them over in their hands. Thank you so much for reading and for these beautiful words!! ✨✨✨

This poem is an intoxicating dance of language and imagery, weaving together the tactile and the ethereal. The use of sensory metaphors - scent, taste, texture - creates a vivid world full of richness and desire. Each line feels like a step deeper into a dreamlike state where femininity is both powerful and delicate. The recurring motifs of nature, such as honeycombs and flowers, suggest an elemental connection to the world, while the choice of luxurious, almost mystical imagery - pearls, geranium kisses, lunar compassion - elevates the speaker to a divine, almost otherworldly level of seduction. The writing itself, lush and elaborate, mirrors the intoxicating effect of the images it conjures, drawing the reader into a sensual experience. It speaks not only to physical attraction but also to the allure of the divine, the untouchable. It's a fascinating exploration of how language can serve as both a tool of seduction and self-expression, leaving a lasting, hypnotic impression. I just loved it, Jennae! The way the poem blends beauty and desire is mesmerizing. It's like a dance between elegance and intoxication that leaves an unforgettable impression.
