"Love weaves a mysterious magic spell" Lady Dragonfly Masculine and prickly, the proprietor of a gambling house, Wispy wings finesse her dress, its translucence will arouse A Dita von T. vedette, an alluring erotic oozing femme fatal A Seductiveness, her love weaves a mysterious magic spell whose charms ensnare her lovers, like a fierce dragoness She is the narcotic opium in the pipe, a smoking goddess Lady dragonfly the name becomes the vicious villain vamp Cold-spirited and flighty with an icy sting clammy and damp Constituting a roll as ‘madam’ sexually domineering and violent Puffs of wistful thoughts, tricked times these the turbulent Swarming like flies, men condemn her racy domineering image Confined, she justifies the life of promiscuous privilege

A malevolently seductive fantasy. Reminds me of the protagonist femme fatal in "Blue Angel" Marlena Dietrich reduces men to babbling idiots on their knees howling at the moon. Tre Bien, Robert

Thank you, Robert for acknowledging that it's a malevolently seductive 'fantasy'. I own the Dragonfly Lady, I created her. I did my job if it reminded you of Hollywoods most famous femme fatale! :D

Hoho. Now this is poetry at its finest. Gosh, and I thought they were just dragonflies. "She is the narcotic opium in the pipe". Great line. I'm guessing we're not really talking dragonflies here. Here's some trivia: my wife will hold a dragonfly in her hand but not a caterpillar. Go figure

Yes, you can hold a dragonfly by the wings. They are delicate creatures, so be careful not to break them. Caterpillar ladies will give you water blisters--beware! Thanks, Tom.

Artfully written, and adorned with vivid imagery, this piece beautifully explores the essence of blissful existence. I echo what David said the enigmatic femme fatal, possesses an unparalleled allure capable of captivating men to the point of their demise or even bloodshed. Despite their awareness of being ensnared, men remain enthralled by their irresistible charm.

The femme fatale is indeed a beautiful creature Anaya, men will die or kill for them, even though they know they’re under a spell, men are suckers for their charms, yet will give up their life for them, a beautifully written piece and a big contender for contest, cheers David

I've always been drawn to femme fatale. Seductive ladies of the night I find intriguing, who wouldn't? Yann thank you for your kind visit!
