Notes About The Poem

Entry for BEAUTIFUL WORDS ARE HERE ! Poetry Contest: Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud Date wrote 17th August 26

Becoming

She deliberately sashayed across the room,
the very breathless harbinger of lost desire;
all the men whom she passed by seeming to consume
this effervescent commingling of ice and fire.
In an instant, witless men succumb to her becoming,
as she played them like a bass fiddle, strumming.

Terry, your poem is fantastic, and the imagery is vivid. The language effectively conveys the allure and magnetic presence of the central figure.
