She tells you she can fly …
The girl with the dragon tattoo.
Takes you to her room:
fishnet, lace, decorated with silky bows
magenta, black, red or the rare virginal white
in a pile on the floor.
Stilettos, sling-back pumps, knee-high boots,
costumes for every occasion.
Seduction, temptation is her plot …
Young girl that moves like a gazelle
gracefully through the crowd,
sizing up the innocent
with her lustrous eyes, lined in kohl.
What catches the crowd’s attention:
Stockings wrapped firmly about her thighs.
I watch as she picks her victim,
with her beautiful smile and those sexy
stockings … she’ll take you on a flight …
the first two lines are from "dragons fly"

A sexy list poem! So many young beautiful girls around. Love the title.
ReplyDeleteSultry descriptions that create a sense of knowing seduction. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tidy up the piles on the floor. I'll never shake off my housewifely instincts.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that the allure of fishnet, bows, and stockings has been lost on a generation that cannot understand the attraction. Layers to tantalize desire. Sensual, descriptive and captivating. I enjoyed the moves, a lot!
ReplyDeleteRegards,

I know her, not just from the book, but have watched her with envy at different times in my existence. The way she plants her feet, and dresses herself in a speaking manner. You have captured her well, and clearly.

nice...love the sensuality of this...there is something to the build up in the elements...though there is a sadness in her preying...
ReplyDeleteYes Brian there is a sadness within someone who
ReplyDeletebehaves like that. A part of them has a void.

Victoria I hope the same for you.
ReplyDeletePamela
Loved it. I only wished I could close my eyes to read it. The beauty of the seductress and yet the sadness and emptiness.
ReplyDeleteI have known her from both sides.
Beautifully written, seductive and sensuous.
By the way, I really like the photo as well!
ReplyDeletetolbert, thanks on both counts. I just visited your blog and I love your writing and the write up.
ReplyDeletePamela
A very, very sensual poem. You probably read the Steig (sp) books. I know many people have liked them. I can't remember the last time I wore nylons, fishnet or otherwise. I only wear dresses in summer when I can go bare-legged. LOL. Pamela, thanks for your support in various places!! I hope you have a very happy new year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. I just got the trilogy for a Christmas present from my husband. I just started
ReplyDelete"the girl with the dragon tattoo". Mary I don't wear nylons or fishnet. Bare-legged is the only way to go :). I virtually live in summer year round lately. (for the past 9 years)
I also hope you have a wonderful New Year.
Filled with only the best.
Pamela
