SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! WORD PLAY: Cherry!

When I think of this word I instantly think red, vibrant, youthful, sex, virgin, and sweet.

In your writing, this word can be played up in many ways.  For instance, if your writing about a yummy recipe that's filled with sweetness or great flavor or even how you describe a young girl who is a virgin in your story.  You can play this word up or down in great ways and get different responses from your readers.



This is also a word that can entice your readers into your story because you can keep it steady or be over the top with how you use it.  In poetics, when you use the word cherry it has a sense of vividness and anonymity because in one instance your talking about how vibrant and amazing something is, and then in another instance your referring to a sensual soft subtle moment that involved the cooing effect of a great moment that took your breath away in a manner that exploded with riveting sweet flavor.



All in all, when using this word you can keep it steady or take it to the next level. Words like this don't have to be boring in a story.  Remember, the vividness of the word is there, it's up to you to use your imagination and create something that can explode with riveting effects of wildness.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP: WORD PLAY: Peek!

When I think of the word "peek", I instantly think of a scene where two people are role playing and one is hiding and peeking out from behind a huge draped curtain or peeking out from behind a door. 

However you use it in your writing it can add a sensual feel to your story just by corporating it.

One way it's sure to please your readers is using it in a scene that's adult oriented. Having a scene where two consenting adults are showing a playful and loving side is a good way to incorporate the word "peek."  You can definitely get very descriptive in how you describe the sensual playful behavior of the two characters in the scene. 

As you get descriptive, remember to take the word to the next level by describing dramatic sounds, like soft running or how sexy feet sound hitting a cold hard wood floor as one character is looking for the other in a playful manner.  Meanwhile describe just how the other character is "peeking."  Meaning, how hard their heart is beating, if they are sweating, or if they are tickled or laughing inside while they are peeking from behind that huge draped curtain.

Remember; don't be afraid to use words such as "peek" to amp up your dramatic and sexy scenes or your scenes of action or horror.  Peek adds flair, possibility and adventure to your story.  It can be the defining moment of your story.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! WORD PLAY: "Tingle"

This word is an automatic when creating a hot and steamy love story or very gritty nasty black love drama.

When I think of this word I immediately get goose bumps!  It has a ripple effect, much like when your lover is caressing you in one spot, which automatically makes those other spots jump to the tenth power!

You can use this word in a number of ways in your story.  Many people use it as a description as they describe how one charater feels.  Writers also use it in performance poetry to give a smooth, yet in your face effect.

There are power in words, but more power in the description of the word.  The more you can describe the word the more your readers will get wrapped up in you stories/poetry.

Today, use "tingle" in a way that you never have before, and realize the potential a word can bring to spice up your story/poetry.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! POETRY PLAY: "As It Is."

AS IT IS BY: Edith Nesbit

If you and I
Had wings to fly -
Great wings like seagulls' wings -
How would we soar
Above the roar
Of loud unneeded things!

We two would rise
Through changing skies
To blue unclouded space,
And undismayed
And unafraid
Meet the sun face to face.

But wings we know not;
The feathers grow not
To carry us so high;
And low in the gloom
Of a little room
We weep and say good-bye.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! POETRY PLAY: Again and Again and Again!

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN BY: Anne Sexton

You said the anger would come back
just as the love did.

I have a black look I do not
like. It is a mask I try on.
I migrate toward it and its frog
sits on my lips and defecates.
It is old. It is also a pauper.
I have tried to keep it on a diet.
I give it no unction.

There is a good look that I wear
like a blood clot. I have
sewn it over my left breast.
I have made a vocation of it.
Lust has taken plant in it
and I have placed you and your
child at its milk tip.

Oh the blackness is murderous
and the milk tip is brimming
and each machine is working
and I will kiss you when
I cut up one dozen new men
and you will die somewhat,
again and again.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! WORD PLAY: Vibrate!

Tonight's spicy and flirty word is "vibrate."

When I think of this delicious word it definitely brings a feeling so yummy and so mesmerizing, that it takes your thoughts and your heart beat to another level.

This word is all about the "thump" or the "bump" to be exact. Hearing something vibrate is like a mystical evolution that conjures up little thoughts that float down your brainstem, to the tips of your fingers.

It's a natural sound of all things we hear, see, taste, smell and touch.

Remember when using the word vibrate in your writing, think of those natural things that you tend to ignore. Walk outside and have a conversation with nature to understand what this word is all about. Then use it in your writing and explore it to the literary fullest.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! POETRY PLAY: I Wondered Lonely As A Cloud!

I WONDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD BY: William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! POETRY PLAY: Dying Their Wings!

DYING THEIR WINGS BY: Vachel Lindsay

The moon's a cottage with a door.
Some folks can see it plain.
Look, you may catch a glint of light,
A sparkle through the pane,
Showing the place is brighter still
Within, though bright without.
There, at a cosy open fire
Strange babes are grouped about.
The children of the wind and tide--
The urchins of the sky,
Drying their wings from storms and things
So they again can fly.
