I was chatting on Susan Daniels Poetry site when she kindly invited me to take part in a Three Nuts and a Squirrel challenge that Whimsy Mimsy started and I joined in on aprayerlikegravity site.
Confused yet? The below should explain, if you are interested in taking a peek.
Basically the challenge was : – So our little joke has become a pass along challenge prompt – entitled “Three nuts and a squirrel”. Johnny has provided the next one – here –http://aprayerlikegravity.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/she-made-me-do-it-poem-promptchallenge/ – with the words truck, safe (the object), and crust. Theme: Romantic or sensuous. 
So the idea: Make a poem on the stated theme (the Squirrel) and include the three words (I think nouns work best) or ideas based on them (the Nuts).
Now I’m not that savvy about ping-backs, link to’s and the like so forgive me if I have stuffed -up!
Please post the results or links to them, in the comments below.
I now put out the challenge (heaven help me)
Three words. One theme. Limitless possibilities….
My 3 words are –
Book
Salt
River
Whoever wants to be first as I’m still brainstorming (not that there is much to storm)
ENJOY!
Ramblings From A Mum 
I am SO in. And thanks for taking the pressure off. Now I don’t even have to decide who goes next! But….shall we stick with the same theme?
You are welcome JCC or can I just call you JC for short
😉 I love this idea certainly helps with writers block not that “babbly rambly” suffers that problem much to my readers annoyance! Yes please I love the theme..it brings out..well out..hell you know what I mean surely? 😉
Did you say ummm….”Smut”?!

Hello and Welcome 🙂
patchwork quilt beneath
stretched out across the grass
just beyond mud
along the banks of an almost river
spine bent
the book lay forgotten
as your lips traveled
up mine
then tasting
the salty nape of my neck
beneath the ringlets
heat left there
🙂

Here you go:
Sutra (for three nuts and a squirrel)
*
I read a book once
and I will write around its name
and call is simply
The ways to make love
and they are listed:
how to kiss
every part of the body
feed the self
on the river traced
by the tip of a tongue
and then two tongue tips
tasting, tangling, twining
to relish
the salt of each other
So simple and pure without being so… does that describe what I felt? Excellent and elegant smut 🙂 x
Oh, thanks so much, Jen. Really appreciate that… Blushing. Elegant smut. I like the ring that has.
I sense another poetical piece in the making perhaps and you are so welcome! 🙂
Hmmm….academic smut? 😉

Here’s mine…a little shorter this time…perhaps a bit less smutty…
———————-
You have opened yourself like a book,
taken that look and given it back
in folds of soft loving,
given me the shivered salt
of your throat
while the river
comes and goes,
comes
and goes
What!! You provide no smut – shame on you JC – I did like it – especially ‘given me the shivered salt’ *sighs* (in a good way) Thank you 🙂
For all you Nuts and Squirrels out there… 😉
