Livestock Holiday

this is not entirely true .. a little bit is entirely down to one of his imaginations ..

Livestock Holiday

She was so hot and she knew it ..

But looked

so bloody cool ..

Bloody being the operative word

in that scarlet,

tie dyed cheesecloth dress of hers

and of course,

the matching top, not to mention

the machete ..

But when she

turned to face him, head on like

that and in the

meagre half-light, she near cleaved

his breath away,

and left him, well and truly folded

on the doorstep

of yet another cattle market abattoir ..

I enjoyed the way you give 'hot' a new meaning in this poem, dear Neville. By the time she had finished casting her spell, he was well and truly folded at the doorstep of someone who seems to be quite merciless to her admirers and lovers! Perhaps, the machete is imagined and I take it as the weapon of her scarlet and shimmering attraction. One that she uses unabashedly on her cattle. Your description of her is just superb and this poem is so imaginative and cool to read. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Hey, Good Morning DIVYA .. what can I say except for a BIG thank you for being the first to call this mane .. I was fascinated by your thoughts and would love to give you the thumbs up but also wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone else who might follow in the wake you have created .. In the meantime, if nobody else comes, the gold is all yours .. Thanks again D ... N :)

You are most welcome, my friend. :)

The tie-dyed cheesecloth dress and matching top with the latest in runway accessories...a machete! Must be part of the Slaughterhouse Collection. Throw in some stiletto heels and this outfit is to die for.

Nice one Neville

This dame comes across as a bit of a man eater. The fact that you mentioned cattle market abattoir reminds me of a slaughter house. You also mentioned machete:) The fact that she is dressed in red, the colour of blood adds to the overall picture. Is she out to kill her conquests or just cut em up a bit:))Makes me wonder if the she here is connected to your previous confessional
post. I maybe wrong but I just feel a connection. An entertaining and most creative read Neville. Never seen a woman and cattle market abattoirs being used together before. That is genius:)
