Here's a bit of humor!
I've been working on this, on and off, for about 2 weeks. I decided to just go ahead and finish it.
I can always make more changes in the future.
So I am presenting this for discussion for Thursday, October 2. All suggestions Quite Welcome! Jill

Desire
It saddled and rode me
like a jockey rides a horse.
It whipped me into frenzy,
slashing with barbed whip,
drawing blood from my flanks
as I strived to overtake you.
On I raced, but you remained
firmly out of reach. Exhausted,
I finally gave up the chase.
You’re’re not such a prize.
I have decided I will wait
for one with a more placid gait.
