Dermawhatologist

She walked in the door like an Amazon Woman
Let me introduce myself I'm____________
I've been doing this for thirty years
She was pale as death warmed over with red hair
But flawless porcelain skin that had never seen the sun

Well let me take a look ...yep
Here's one of those pre-canerous lesions...nope make that two
Then she draws out her equipment ..a bazooka flame thrower
There's no need to numb these up I'll just zap them
Then she turns on her benson burner and goes hold still...hold still..


I'll never get it burned off if you move away..
They must have just released her from some mental hospital
Where she was on the ward for mentally sadistic disturbed patients
Well at least I learned one thing...maybe two
One..never trust a woman with liquid nitrogen in a blow torch
Then she said to me you are of Scandanavain decent..

Strange place to learn of where one's ancestors came from..huh.

I enjoyed reading this piece of yours and especially the last three lines! Today it is snowing again, but also with some sunny intervals. You should start with artwork! I studied graphic art but sometimes I prefer words. Would be nice to see some pics on facebook! Have a nice week...Gert

i Love your style on this one Sara. Intresting view and it really shows the train of thought. I say it all the time but i'm always amazed how different poems shine in so many ways. Very pleasing to read. Thank you for my comments on my poems. Gareth

Sadistic ? Nah, I put my finger on kinky. An adventurous write, perhaps a hidden meaning? Don't want to jump to conclusions, yet every poem's true base is reflected on the writer's personality or perspective of life. Hope I don't see in the news, a redhead with liquid nitrogen and a blow torch, hehe. Imagery and adventure indeed. Outstanding write. Love, Sami.
