Sotto Poet Poet Pantoum

Notes About The Poem

My Foolish Heart

Her iciness gaze ensnared my foolish heart.
I was cast in the role of a comic swing.
Her infectious smile entices my depart. 
She led my nervous hand to the Devil's ring!! 

I was cast in the role of a comic swing.
Allow me to nosh your savage side, she roars. 
She led my nervous hand to the Devil's ring!! 
Submit now and brace yourself for a wild floor.

Allow me to nosh your savage side, she roars. 
Her touch was thrilling as I sooth her body. 
Submit now and brace yourself for a wild floor. 
As I drew close to her, I grasped the fury.

Her touch was thrilling as I sooth her body. 
Forewarned to her as a moth to a candle. 
As I drew close to her, I grasped the fury. 
I was dumb fool playing the devil's gamble!

Forewarned to her as a moth to a candle. 
Devil claims she is a sinner, not a saint.
I was dumb fool playing the devil's gamble!
Her quest was not one to be taken with faint. 

Forewarned to her as a moth to a candle. 
Her infectious smile entices my depart.  
I was dumb fool playing the devil's gamble!
Her iciness gaze ensnared my foolish heart.
