An Ode to Fellatio (Sonnet #1)

NSFWPoem

It came upon me suddenly, a need

to feel a fullness deep inside my throat

and possibly to even swallow seed

after having fondled and tongued a scrote.

To bring all of you readers up to speed,

about his member he was wont to gloat.

If I should follow through and do the deed,

it would be an impressive anecdote.

The shaft could have put obelisks to shame;

there were many who gave up before they tried.

I lived up to my honor and my name;

on his cock I gagged and choked and cried

When finally -- Oh, finally! -- he came,

we fell asleep like lovers, side by side.

also hi, this was written as a writing exercise where the prompt was to write "a dirty [Petrarchan] sonnet." i know that this is not usually what's posted here but shrug emoji i'm proud of it!

I think this poem was so enjoyable and hilarious. You seemed totally serious in tone but the whimsy of wording created a playful atmosphere between reader and writer. What a joy to read because I literally laughed all the way through. Admirably, I feel it's a complete story, you had intentional formatting, and showed your technical application of rhyme and rhythm in your own way. Super awesome indeed! Thanks for sharing 👍

Haha that's totally conveyed 😆 I may suggest, instead of using "like" in the last line perhaps "as" if you like the difference.

Nicely composed! Love the line length and you seem to have chosen all the best words at the right time! (Thanks for the giggles, you’ve brightened my day.)

Strong stuff. Explosive imagery. A very satisfying read. Now I'm no sonnet expert, my one attempt was very awkward so take my feedback with a grain of salt.

Your meter is pretty much on point, apart from a couple of lines

"After having fondled and tongued a scrote" has this interesting substitution with FONdled and TONGued a SCROTE. I think it's called a pyrrhic substitution? Either way, it's a thing, but this line feels a bit clanky.

Your rhyme scheme was unexpected, I figured sonnets go ABAB CDCD EFEF GG but I could he wrong, I'm a basic bitch anyway and should go back to free verse myself but overall this was hilarious and i enjoyed reading it.

lmao there's something about smutty poems that i love just cause i think it breaks peoples idea that poetry is a pretentious or "higher" art form that's different from anything else

only critique i can think of is that there are a couple syllable emphasis that are a bit off, but tbh who cares great work lol

Really enjoyed reading this! As a gay person who is so repulsed by the act of fellatio that I avoid any content related to it like the plague, I never thought I could read a poem about it without feeling disgusted by it.
