A Seasoned View

You said she was

       ' cold as ice'

proceeded to try

         & warm her drink

warned beforehand, 

               she watched her heart

      you drank her down spirited

       with your dark intoxicating eyes,

       like a silly school girl 

              she began to unfurl

      melted like  a frothy cube

 in your shot of lofty clouds

        somewhere between

sweet raspberries & beer,

making time with a target plan

   I watched from a  pretentious corner

       languidly peering over my comprehensive 

  sneer of  peppered vodka & ail

once you got her hot, it was all over

    her lesson for that night

still isn't clear,

when you tango with lions

  temperature settings

 have nothing to do with life

and even less to do

             with love affairs

"once you got her hot, it was all over
her lesson for that night
still isn't clear,"

- Such a clever and cool observation....

Reminds me of the predator and it's prey. I take away from this poem...a lesson in caution...in never getting swept away...

'when you tango with lions
temperature settings
have nothing to do with life
and even less to do
with love affairs" - Awesome wisdom imparted here in such interestingly worded lines.

[Frieda P]

Haha Red, those too! Thanks so much!

I had a teacher like this once in High School. Mmmm...wasn't such a bad thing then. Once more a seductive piece greets me on a Saturday (yes it's Saturday) morning from the queen of poetry. Very nice Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Woo Jack, who knew you were so wild, 'wasn't such a bad thing' haha..I'll bet! Thanks so much.

[Pete Langley]

Aah, lessons in life, lessons in life. Having never learned the art of seduction - though I tried, oh, how I tried - I so enjoy your observational poems, dare I say, more than your oh`so-inflammmatory exotica, Frieda! Sweet & sardonic. P.

[Frieda P]

Haha Pete, I wrote this one just for you, thought I'd give you a break, 'more than'? You're too cute sweet Pete...! Thanks...have a great weekend.

[Pete Langley]

Not that sweet! .... and not past still trying, either! Have a good one. P.

[Frieda P]

Ah, I don't believe that for a second, you're sweeter than you let on!
