~~Hypnotic trance

Voodoo that you do...a silly love scribble.

voodoo that you do do do

      made me fall in love with you

a madman of sorts no doubt

    you go in and out of tune

jinx'd in a soulful rendition  

   enchanted curse of alchemy's diablerie

hypnotic trance of prismatic spells

      still, can't resist your insanity

a work in progressive iniquity

            you make my teapot whistle

soft underbelly of desires

      twisted in french knot'd sighs

your music rocks my soul

     a cool tempo of red light's sizzle

playing in deviltry's playground

        was never a kinder flaming flaw

   heart's on fire when you reign in my mind

[Jack...]

I am hypnotized by your poem this morning my sweet friend. You have cast a spell over me and I could not be happier. I honestly do find it hard to believe that when I come to your world I find a poem that is better than the last, when so many times in the past I have read your work and thought, "There is no way she can top this one," you always prove me wrong.

This poem with its voodoo vibe is a little dark, but a little dark love is good for the soul. You lift me and spin me around until I are happily dizzy and then you come along swinging that silver watch back and forth before my eyes until I am in a trance...under your spell...hypnotized. Just don't make me act like a chicken...please?

Ahhah Jack, that made me literally laugh out loud...I think I could come up with something better than a chicken. ;-) Love this old song, thought I'd write a little ditty to it...with a slant, thanks so much, jazz'd you enjoyed. Maybe a wascally wabbit instead. ;-P

[Eric Pudalov]

Ooooooh...I have to agree with Jack, Frieda! You keep on surprising me with your work, and I never know what to expect next! This piece, especially, is very song-like, which I love about it.

And as always, I have some favorite lines, in particular "enchanted curse of alchemy's diablerie," and "a work in progressive iniquity/you make my teapot whistle." It's so very bluesy, almost New Orleans-influenced in the way I hear it.

Did you envision it having some kind of melody when you wrote it? Because that seems only appropriate. Oh, and I loved Jack's partner piece to this as well.

[Frieda P]

Woo your review blew my skirt up Eric, N'awlins one of my favorite places! Thanks so much...Jack's partner piece? now you're speaking voodoo to me. ;-) No exact melody but there's always music in my head when I write....Thanks so much!

[Eric Pudalov]

Oh, what I meant was that Jack wrote a poem that he said was inspired by this one, and that's what led me back to reading this one!

[Stella Armour]

ah Frieda..,. what to say? if this is madness then bring it on..fantastic my friend.

[Frieda P]

Ha don't worry, the madness is permanent me thinks ;-) Thanks Stella.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i just can't resist your insanity...it makes me realize mine even more...and how delightful is that?

to be crazy in love with someone.

so as jack says..the next one from you keeps getting better....so what's next? no pressure.

[Frieda P]

Best part about poetry, we're never crazy alone. ;-) Thanks jacob...

Like Rasputin, The Marcus d'Sade even Hanible Lecter, they all had one thing in common apart from their dark side, the ladies found them iresstible!

Darkly delectable Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Ahh Hannibal was pretty appealing if he didn't feast on you for dinner, thanks Tom !

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

A very smooth flowing poem that when you drink the words down you can get intoxicated on the creative sentiment.

[Frieda P]

Woo hope you don't have a hangover today Dale, grazie mille. :-)
