What Does Poetry Mean To You Contest

Femme Fatale

Poetry, dear, you femme fatale,
Your darkling eyes stoke fantasies
And ruby lips blow memories—
Oh! temptress, you’re enticing me
With beauty ‘neath that sheer peignoir,
Attracting me with luscious lines,
Invoking soft caress of words
While guilt and weakness you evoke
When we create, my joy so deep:
Will you my mistress always be?
