Notes About The Poem

ingenue

I'm not an 'ingénue' anymore - that’s been vitiated.
I'm not innocent, pure, naive or vulnerable -
which are technically, 'ingénue' requirements
(I don’t make the rules).

That being said, if no one has an objection,
in terms of narrative trajectory, I'd like to be
considered a 'fémme fatale' until further notice.

Dear Anais, Ahhh, Yes, the aspects of growing up and becoming! So well written and having 3 daughters and now 3 granddaughters it is wonderful watching them become. I enjoyed the humor and look forward to the future of becoming. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
