The queen of ice

We have all met one of these

THE QUEEN OF ICE

 

 

There is a queen of ice, one born everyday

You can identify her, she always needs her own way

Easily recognisable, the eyes full of seduction

Standing out from the mediocre, promoting reproduction

 

Twenty years after she was born

In her prime, a siren needing no horn

One by one, the handsome men come and go

She offers all, but each conquest says no

 

Thirty years have passed by since her birth

She has widened her search on Earth

Seeking, both the younger and the older

Her shallow being has become bolder

 

Forty years since she first arrived on this globe

For the first time, her inner feelings, she must probe

Looking in, there is only an empty space

But no matter, all the beauty is in her face

 

Fifty years now have passed, but still no reduction

In her skills and cunning, in the art of seduction

Young and old are all taken, in for the ride

But, very soon they all find, there is nothing inside

 

Sixty years now, have toiled by

Still she can’t see, she has lived a lie

Gifted with all the parts, and arts of attraction

But unable to see, or feel, or give a reaction

 

After seventy years the queen of ice, still can’t see why

She is all alone, and alone, she will die

oh, you have described at least half a dozen of my former lovers here. guess that makes me a pretty pathetic individual, to have been duped that many times by my own hormones, combined with the wiles of a seductive siren......now that i am old enough and wise enough to know better, i have stopped trying . i guess the ice queens were the true winners after all? great poem!

I think those women who place the importance of their attraction above all else, are the ultimate losers throughout life. Hey Ho

Funny, I know a few guys who fit this description perfectly. They don't call them Ice Queens, it's a different word. Interesting read.

thank you, yes I know where you are coming from but as I am straight I have never had to suffer that experience from a man.

The subject matter is so universal. I believe I know someone by this description, and they are not pleasant to be around most of the time . . . Great rhymes and delivery.

Oh yes, I know some people like this! (Although I hope I still have some attraction at sixty too!)

[hogan]

It does not relate to all attractive women, but some place their attraction above all else alas.
