Notes About The Poem

Glances, Winks, Smiles

a flick of the hair    head tilt-
a little coquetish smile          a teasing question
all part of the flirting game

tickling    winking    flattery    giggling

speaking those sweet nothings
     chatting up
        flattering comments
            long silly conversations
flirting can be just for fun     or be more

friends   co-workers   total strangers

people flirt

its all in the body language      the vocal tone
   volume
       intonation
            feigned interest
                
the flirter sends out signals   a touch    a look
   perhaps just playful     or may be dangerous

a flick of the hair      head tilt-
a little coquettish smile               a teasing question
all part of the teasing game

can be flattering     can be uncomfortable
or can be harmless fun    or have more intent

blowing a kiss   footsies under the table
   raise an eyebrow   a little hand touch perhaps
send a secret note
     write a love poem
        stage an encounter
flirters can be devious and relentless

the batting of the eyelashes    old tactic
but it still works
     next thing you know your 
               exchanging personal numbers
careful-
