Sweet Thang

With pouty red lips
and bright blue eyes
she has a style that attracts
 and can hypnotize.

Men fall at her feet,
get weak in the knees
as she walks down the street
swaying hips that tease.

With her head held high
and hair blowin' in the wind
she’s every man’s dream
of a sweet young thing.

Just for fun remembering the good ol' days ;-)

She's still vibrantly alive,
I can feel it!
Full of verve and vive …
don't conceal it!

Indeed, strut your stuff,
tease the guys …
you've plenty enough
to get a big rise. ; )

Sorry, Dara Dear,
I was reading your sassy poem, glancin' at your lovely profile pic … 'n got boldly inspired.
Hope you didn't mind a frisky lil' flirt! 😏

Love your wee bit of naughtiness in this well-struck little teaser, and a pretty darned good poem in imagery and flow … stirring our senses jussst right!
Great rhymes and swaying rhythm, too, until that last verse, eh(?), which got me to thinking, and what I thunk was:

With hair blowin' in the wind
head held high as she sang
she’s every man’s dream
of a sweet young thang.

Whatever, I love it (obviously), and you certainly got a good rise outta Me … LOL!
Good stuff, Lovely Lady-Poet! ⁓ Richard 🍃


(psst! love the sizzlin' picture, too)

Well! You have me grinning from ear to ear :-) There is nothing better than to know that one’s poetry has a certain effect on the reader. Your review and clever verse have exceeded my expectations by a mile. Thank you so much for sharing your own thoughts. I do believe I felt a bit of a jaunt in my step after reading it, too! ;-)

A delightful piece of writing, Dara - and somehow, gently personal! Hope you wear those good ol' days at times, must never lose them, dear, dear you!

[Dara]

Thank you dear Emma! Every now and then I can fill a certain stirring of that young woman making her way out. Your words just took off 30 years and always make me smile :-)

oh and she is just lovin' the attention...

I like the title..."Sweet Thang" gives me that southern belle feel...Scarlett O'Hara...
fun read.

Most definitely loving it! :-) although I was always pretty shy when it came to attention from the other sex. It was fun to write about it though. Thank you Jacob!

A beautiful lady can tempt the men if she wants. Nice use of word dear Dara. Made me believe. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

To be sure I was always very shy but it was fun to fantasize being the 'temptress' :-) Great of you to stop by!
