Author's Notes: I realize it's not Halloween yet, but I had to go ahead and do a dark theme for the new year!! This poem is a dark little Rhyme write I put together under the title: "The Enchantress with the Greenest of Eyes." This is a slight departure from some of the love poetry and other more positive themes I've written and presented over the last few of months. This poem focuses on an evil enchantress whose goal and purpose are the eternal damnation of men's souls, in this case, referring to any of the men who have been unfortunate enough to become acquainted with her. Getting to know this Enchantress is not a good idea -- especially if you're a man. And so at least the female Poetry Soup readers and colleagues should get a chuckle out of this one, that is, if you have an interest in Dark Themes. (Disclaimer: This poem is not about anyone I know. It's strictly fictional and fantasy.) (Gary Bateman, January 20, 2015) (Rhyme)

The Enchantress with the Greenest of Eyes
This lady is quite lovely and most fascinating with the greenest of eyes,
And she’ll easily captivate and bewitch all men she meets with no surprise.
This lady has the reddest of hair, long and full, with such a lustrous sheen,
And with her soft skin and a nubile appearance she looks just like a queen.
This lady’s grace of movement and mellifluous voice are most charming,
Which makes her all the more enthralling to men and at once most disarming.
Now one can see why this Enchantress with her comely visage of pulchritude,
Can make easy work of the men she meets and mesmerizes with such certitude.
This reflects that some people in life are not what they always appear to be,
And this Enchantress wears such a mask hiding her true self—for no one to see.
Since this is the reality for men who fall for this lady while making their pitch;
It will be obvious to many of them over time that this Enchantress is a Witch!
For men who succumb to the spell of this Enchantress, it’s time to pay the Piper,
And so they will now meet the real person behind her mask who is Satan’s Viper!
With powers of sorcery and debauchery supreme this Enchantress sets her goals,
Which is to sow fear in her victims—bringing eternal damnation to their souls!
For men who might meet this Enchantress, don’t look deeply into her green eyes!
This deep look will lock your soul under her evil power and bring on your demise!
