Audrey Haick Poet Free verse

Life of a Fictitious Person (Desiree Flake)

Desiree Flake....
Stepping out on the man in her life
For a stranger she meets at night
O, she plays the game so well, always sweet
With the many secrets she keeps
One day she will learn that secrets do seep
That lies are like popping corn
They awaken a love one’s scorn
Apply enough heat, kernel by kernel
They all Pop! Pop! Pop! All over the place
Desiree Flake it is better to stay true
Secrets and lies will always make you blue

Gerard Keogh Jr. March 25, 2010 at 12:48 PM Those last two lines make this pooem, I'm sorry! Quite an ending! You should keep this, regardless. I admire you handling Jimmys' correspondence. I hope it works out and he gets out. No going back, as they say, especially where that's concerned. Let the past stay dead and the future keep some promise. Regards, Gerard

Carolyn Devonshire March 16, 2010 at 3:05 PM Great poem, Audrey, and there's a lot of truth in it. Folks like Desiree usually get "secrets and lies" in return. Very good entry for the contest and I wish you success. Love, Carolyn

Carrie Richards March 16, 2010 at 7:38 AM Her name is so fitting!! And her lesson seems too hard to learn.... love the comparison to popping kernels of corn...scattering secrets all over the place! Well done, Audrey! Good luck in the contest!! ~ Love, Carrie
