This is lovely! So sensual and delicate! I know this is probably going to sound pretentious, and I really hope you are not offended, but to be perfectly honest I was worried that the poem was going to be cheesy and full of cliches, but it is not! It's subtle and sophisticated and makes me wriggle!

I absolutely adore how you address your last stanza to "my human" It's interesting and cheeky.
And "sweet skin" is such a great way for a non-human to characterize a human. It made me feel how humanity is flawed but warm. I don't know if that makes sense lol!

Anyway, again, lovely poem! - YellowSweater.

Noice! HJ here with a review!

Before reading: the name was interesting

After reading: woah

On with the review!
Hm short, but beautiful. I like your descriptive, vivid language and usage of short and simple, but easy to understand and rather well-written text. No major spelling or grammatical errors. Overall, 10/10, keep making more poems!
