Spinal Tap
An Ekphrastic Sonnet

So many spines ache for your warm caress
That of a slim, yellow novel has won
For the nonce, but I suspect your largesse
Is greater still; shall we two have some fun?

Imagine my novel, along with me:
Is it a piquant, bodice-ripping yarn?
A tale of pristine, noble chivalry?
A plunge into a remote, icy tarn?

For you, I will conjure a thousand worlds
And people them with princes or paupers;
A galaxy of worlds woven from words
Will teem for you with heroes and monsters

So long as you will read what I have writ
I will pour out my blood to complete it
