"Masturbation" by Sonya Philip (poetic masturbation) 10, 9, 9 http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=338066740 "Masturbation" by Sonya Philip (sonyap@cats.ucsc.edu). Well, in for an inch, in for a pound - or something like that. Somebody seems to be promoting poetry in this newsgroup this week. You'll never guess what this poem is about. The imagery and intensity of this poem are not comparable to Bluelady's poems (reviewed above). Instead, this one invokes images from the world of music to make masturbation sound really interesting - in case you need help in that regard.
