floats above a ruby pout
she takes you in devouring
has her way, then casts you out
tongue tip teases top lip’s edge
like a supple paintbrush flowing
her smile will burn and hypnotize
it wraps around you knowing
beautiful eyes — worldly wise
sleek as steel — tall and strong
swift and cunning — motor running
she might acquiesce, but not for long
think this women might be meek
that would be a big mistake
treat her like you think she’s weak
she will make your small earth — quake
poor fool who seeks this goddess
is way out of their class
there’s only one word for this life-force
that word, my friend, is — bad ass!

The perfume and lace of a badass…love that. There’s power in curves!
Thank you Susie. Gotta keep the eyes focused on where you’re going when you come to curves… 🙂
Vroooom, Vroooom. Bad Ass indeed! Well done Rob (stay away from her.)
Beware Helen, hazardous to your heart! 🙂
Rob, I love the almost awestruck tone of this, as if maybe the guy had put it to the test and is now warning others. Great spin on the image!
Thanks Lisa! Experience is the greatest teacher… 🙂
treat her like you think she’s weak
she will make your small earthquake
Looks can be deceiving which many discover all the time. One must be extra careful when faced with ‘innocence’ magnified. Love your magnificent descriptive take, Rob!

Thanks Hank…! Never judge a book… 🙂
Love the poetic portrait, especially “swift and cunning–motor running” and also the kick-ass song by Christina!
Thank you Shay! Christina was kickin’ ass on that tune… 🙂
Fire in the curves. You got it right, Rob.
Smokin’ — she ain’t jokin’! sunita! 🙂
Love the way she matches the city around her, just as fierce.
Fierce and fabulous Chrissa!
It is easy to lose your way ahead when it comes to those curves. Love this poem Rob!!

Love what you saw in this image, Rob. Great poem!
Thank you Sara! 🙂
Dynamite poem. And the music you chose, electric. Luv the way some of the fences in the video resonate with the prompt photo.
Have a good week
Much love…
Thank you Gillena! Yes, I felt Christine’s muvid went excellently with the poem!
