The Flirt

The Flirt My volcano froze along with me in time and space Your eyes just stopped me in my place I am too shy to ask your name I’m so glad you came Please just stand there for a moment For the common good For all mankind to see how good you look And honor me with this dance Simply tell me if I have a chance Created on 7/15/15 for “Flirt” Poetry Contest sponsored by: Casarah Nance

Hi Dr. Sharma, Thanks. I wasn't really going for Tom, Dick or Harry or even Frank...though frank is more direct than the rest. Being so shy, I never did get the girls name. I think she ended up with Frank. I'm not all that accomplished at flirting....Maybe I should stick to poetry. Have a great day. Earl

This flirt has a very noble charm about it, respectful, and probably ruthlessly efficient. I suspect you play the game well, Earl. Congratulations. Regards, Viv

Hi Viv, Thank you so much for commenting. I take all of my human relationships too seriously to ever think about flirting. I am very direct and completely sincere and honest with the females I have ever dated. It is true though. I will flirt with my wife of 23 years from time to time but she already knows me so I don't know if that counts. Glad you enjoyed my poem. Thanks again. Earl

Hi Jan, Thank you. Glad you liked it. I know it is simple and silly but simple and silly is a good thing. In real life I have never flirted or used a line on a woman. I am a firm believer and practitioner of being totally honest, especially with women. I take relationships very seriously. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Take care. Earl
