Carolyn Devonshire Poet Acrostic

Exotic Dancer

E very movement she makes
X rated
O nly a teen
T hrust from her home
I n retribution she
C lads herself in scant attire

D ances seductively to please
A ny man who will boost her self esteem, but
N ever
C hooses to 
E xit with those who gaze longingly
R emains a temptress beyond reach

Robert Pettit November 29, 2011 at 12:27 PM This one caught my eye because I have submitted an entry with the same title. I see yours is an acrostic, and a well-written one at that. You have made all the pieces of the puzzle fit together nicely here.

Sara Kendrick May 30, 2010 at 6:03 AM Interesting thoughts that you have penned in this one...Sad that teens end up in the sex business for whatever the reason for them ending up there...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara

Sue Mason May 29, 2010 at 6:08 PM ... and makes a lot of money in the process ... LOL ... excellent write ... love Acrostics and you really captured this one!!

Ashley Yates May 24, 2010 at 12:01 AM How sad and so lonely. Wonderfully written! Ashley

Danny Nunn May 23, 2010 at 5:08 PM A sad way to make a living, and the bills are very high and not the bills we worry about..good write..thanks on You Can,,,for me was just a simple poem, the ABCABC is the way I write all my poems, just come easy for me that way..Danny

Susan Mills May 22, 2010 at 2:55 PM I wonder how true this is but you seemed to have captured the perception of many of a dancing seductress. It's kinda out of my realm but I liked visiting your poem today. Very creative poem that stretches the imagination. Have a great day, Susan

James Fraser May 22, 2010 at 12:52 PM Terrific Acrostic Carolyn, good luck in Jared's contest with this piece >> James

Michael Jordan May 21, 2010 at 11:34 AM Carolyn, This poem means a great deal to me. I was once very in love with an exotic dancer named "Twila" - We were together from 79-81 - She worked at the Sha-na-na Club in Phoenix, Arizona. No I didn't meat her at the club I met her in the laundry room at our apt. building - Thank you for the memory recall - God Bless, mj

John Loving Iii May 20, 2010 at 11:08 AM Eve after the temptation was forced to leave the garden. after her innocence was lost the free ride was over. IT'S a job! step out of gods law and you step out of his protection. obey your parents.

Joe Flach May 20, 2010 at 8:25 AM Wow - very nice! Is this a portrait of the artist? lol Very creative. Well done. Worth every bit of the dollar I tucked in. Carolyn, thanks so much for your comments on so many of my poems, I do appreciate the feedback. Joe

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen May 20, 2010 at 12:47 AM I like it, Carolyn. You have addressed an unfortunate social dilemma with great insight. A temptress beyond reach is especially meaningful. Teens thrust from home do have it rough...God forbid. Lovingly, Dane

James Peranteau May 19, 2010 at 9:18 AM Great Acrostic Carolyn ! Though I'm sure, its hard to believe of a man...I've never fancied this extreme style of Dancing, yet I have seen a few times in my younger days its performances. Great job ! james

Chuck Keys May 19, 2010 at 9:17 AM and the dancer ultimately leads a sad life. sadly in my youth, i may have seen her and not understood her pain. well stated, thank you, chuck

Gert W. Knop May 19, 2010 at 9:00 AM ne could even see this dancer with closed eyes, Carolyn! Nicely written and thank you for your kind comments...Wish you every success in the contest...Love, Gert
