Treat yourself to a good book that is fun to chat about. Order Plain as Sand, by Jessica LaGuerre. In it you will find:
Her Power

Sometimes harmful and unkind.
Swaying hips...

When I see you crane your neck

Makes me pant and sweat and shiver,
Makes a doer of the thinker...
…and many more great poems.
