Acquainting the alpha

~it's a poem about the same character who inspired "alpha" but this one is written with a different tone~

She barely reaches my breast

yet poses as if she's conquered the Everest,

spent time in the Amazon,

eaten at a bistro,

sung with the nymphs, 

balanced encyclopedias in one hand,

ridden horses,

chopped wood,

stayed out till after the curfew,

she pretends to be wittier than

Oscar Wilde. 

She knows a hundred music notes,

she says.

She claims to have traveled to the moon,

and etched her name there.

On mid summer nights, 

I often

pull off my duvet,

descend to the ground,

peek out

at the moon.

Just in case....

Okay, this gave me a laugh, I've known many people like this, and not just women . . . I'm not really sure how to review this, because it quite straight forward, though comical, at least I hope that was the intention. I'm afraid I don't know the character 'Alpha' so perhaps the underlining meaning is lost on my, but i found it enjoyable.

I am glad you enjoyed this one! :))

I enjoyed reading it. You captured a lot of different imagery in a unique way and the ending leaves me with a mystery, at least I think of it as open ended, something to ponder.

[Moonie]

Thank you for visiting! :)) I am glad you liked it. :)

[Jeannette Lunete]

I enjoyed this intriguing one. Maybe because people consider me as a bag of pure arrogance . So it reminds me of the theories about my egocentric personality. It was always hate at first look. Without a decent introducing.This made my day. It's blessed with great satire. Thank you!

[Zakari Schmidt]

Great write. I am both charmed and put-off by your enchanting, yet arrogant alpha. You have a character in her:)

[Moonie]

Oh, thank you! The alpha's amazing feats make her lovable, yet her arrogance is hard to bear.

I love the ethereal flow to this one, fairest daughter. I love the title, the picture of the wolf, and the entire poem. It is quite mysterious, this character you speak of. Nice writing!

[Moonie]

It is alwaus so nice to hear from you. Thanks for the wonderful comment! :))

Fantastic cascading prose, people should read and take note, this is how a cascading story works in free-form.
Excellently penned, beautiful imagery.
