Poem 84

(photo: web)

A SLAP

Can be a chastisement

An act of punishment

From a stern father

For a fool prank

Can cause you angst

And ready revenge

Instigating you to anger

As a victim of aggression

Can save you from panic

In crisis exaltation

Leaving you stunned

In the crowd

Can be a good gesture

From sincere buddy

Back or shoulder

A consolation moment

Can cause you a pleasure

a provocation

In a good sex

Sublime excitement!
