The Alluring & Disenchanted Black Widow

Her hour glass figure

Had caught my attention

A keen & enticing infatuation fueled

A ravenous need to be

A part of a perspiring & thrill-seeking

Wicked desire

Has set the stage

For a daring

Face to face encounter

With a beloved caterer

Serving up this fatal attraction

As a deadly poisonous

Scent of decadence

Worth flirting with

Until her gratification process

Reaches a level of triteness

With her lover

Held at bay

Be aware of

Her seductive spell

Every admirer

May not live to tell

About escaping

A fateful dying ending

Lurking within her mind

As her intentions were open like a nightly window

Defining her as

The Alluring & Disenchanted Black Widow

Ive been called a black widow more than a few times in my life so the title of this one drew me in. Such an intriguing creature the Black Widow. I, personally, hate spiders but if there is one that I might respect it is her. Nice pen friend.

WOW... she sounds dangerous ;) Great write... very intriguing !! :)

Oh...so enchanting! My husband came across a few black widows at work. He couldn't resist the temptation to catch one and flirt with her danger. Your poem captures this intriguing creature well.

A unique and original take on the Black Widow motif...well done :)

I loved your title and I loved how there is fear and danger, but there is also pleasure, and yearning. This was great, well done.

I actually enjoy this take on the whole "black widow" concept...perhaps she is just misunderstood. Sure, there is danger and there is fear, and the possiblity that you may lose yourself, but there is also the pleasure, desire, yearning and blissful elevator toward nirvana that you find within her arms...it's a cunundrum to be sure.

A couple little things:
Line 5 I think you mean "A part of..." but if you mean "Apart" then it should be "Apart from"
Line 15 "Until her gratification process" -- this line just doesn't do it for me...I see what you mean, but I think there could be a better way to say it, "Until the process of her satisfaction" or something like that...I don't know.

Overall...really enjoyed this one. :)

Ah, a fresh take on the black widow...lovely and alluring but she's disenchanted. Suggesting though she's extremely dangerous, maybe at her core she's searching for the same thing we all are... a true and lasting love. Very thought provoking write.

A great piece Bpoet, for it speaks volume, and portrays the danger, of a strong woman, that a man can't survive... nice work.
