Recommended Reading #3: Poetry



      “a dr. like this” by ferret (Sex Work, Sexuality Education)

Found on the site of Dr. Carol Queen (and written in her honor), I have found this poem stunning since the first time I read it.

      “Down There” by Jacque (Erotic Poetry) 6/1/10

This is a poem recently published at The Erotic Woman by poet Jacque, with whom I have recently had the pleasure of making the online acquaintance.

      “The Guest House” by Rumi (Spiritual, Non-sex-related)

I simply find this beautiful.

    Thank you for the shout-out Emerald! I really enjoyed reading the other poems. “a dr. like this” is a beautiful piece. I had to go and read Dr. Carol Queen’s bio to appreciate the full impact of this one.

    I’ve always been inspired by Rumi’s writings. Very enlightening, thought provoking poem. Thank you for posting.

    Hi Jacque! Definitely my pleasure—I loved your poem. And indeed, I found “a dr. like this” just stunning the first time I read it. Wow.

    That Rumi poem turns me inside out.

    Thank you for coming by! I’ve been at a retreat (and thus almost entirely offline) all weekend and am catching up. :)
