The Siren
Older men
seasoned
schooled in seduction
bandied like young bucks
at the sight of
her winsome face
her womanly walk
Behold, that silksultry cool

Mama Zen at Imaginary Garden With Real Toads asked us for eight. Eight lines, eight words, anything Eight.
Eight lines to describe the face a thousand words could not paint… I’ve known this woman. Today, she’s still got it… she just uses it to better advantage!
Also at my poetic perch, Poets United.
Peace, Amy

ZING! This is outstanding! I’ve bookmarked it. I’ve been collecting a number of amazing poems lately, gonna make me my own personal poetry book, stapled and tucked away for me to keep on my shelf. Glad to add your name to it 🙂 I’m sure this won’t be the last.
