Filet Mignon

Filet Mignon

 

 

 

Market Price Fool

 

cuts her heart with a fork

she renders tenders

helpless

 

but in her bones

the softness supplants itself

with sharp tactics

 

that cause him to 

rethink the menu.

This woman's not what she first seemed. 'cuts her heart with a fork' and uses sharp tactics. Seems to me the dish of the day needs removing from the menu. Great work Jacob.

I have to agree with Verse. It feels like a long turn relationship gone bad.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Jon.

Wow, can’t say I blame him... no one likes a schemer, not even one pretending to be a delicate filet mignon, :):)

Great work on this bittersweet moment.

interesting angle....i like how different readers have such different perspective...and often so different from what was in the poet's mind.
thank you,

Filte Mignon, Hmm. Tender, definitely expensive, but not necessarily as flavourful as other cuts. :))

Beccy.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that is true...a well seasoned Chuck steak, cheap as it is...tastes pretty yummy...maybe the same with love, ha ha.
thanks, Beccy.

One who ups and assumes that the age old adage dictating that women are weaker the sex, is a damn fool who has not learned that physical weakness demands mental supiority in order to survive ... meaning that men are quickly relegated to NOT being the brightes light in the room, once a women enters ...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are so right Marvin....so right.
thanks for the words,

Hmmm...don't always assume the filet mignon will be tender, eh? Some people put on a costume in the morning and we never can tell what lies under that costume. Always wise to stand back and watch. Great metaphor. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind words, Lydi.

the old adage ~ don't judge a book comes to mind... the insides and the outsides aren't always the same. What a secret mind we live in.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, "a secret mind"---
thank you, Queenie.

This woman sounds high class.
Maybe he's realised he's out of his depth.
Back to the Mcdonalds girl. Always worth the drive through.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are so clever, your review is better than the poem.

Definitely one of your most playful extended metaphors! I love this one! We all think biting into the juicy steak of love will be as tender as a filet, but alas, it's usually much tougher! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you my dear Margie.

Ah the disguise of pretending to be one thing and proving to be much different. Perhaps those bones should be tossed outside with the dog ;) wonderful reading your work as always Jacob :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind words, Carolynn.
