Ghazal-The Spell In the Potion

Incited by her Allure Sensuelle...
a vulnerable man is noticed by all.


Quite by nature, I rarely frequent clubs...
loud music turns me into a demon from hell.


She brought me so many Martinis on the Rocks...
I drank them too quickly and took a bad fall.


The spell in the potion must have acted too slowly...
I showed her respect, but she became too sensual.


Discovering the foul play, I was dismayed by her madnesss...
she left in a hurry and disappeared down the crowded hall.


Entered in Jared Pickett's contest, " The Ghazal "

Very intriguing tale about the way alcohol can affect us. I don't frequent bars either, Andrew, and when the music is too loud, it gets irritating. The ghazal is an interesting and challenging form. You handle it well and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
