Original digital surreal art: “Goddess Of The Lamp” by: rob kistner © 9/30/24
Saw her checking out the lamp
this 21st century vamp
wondered was I ready
palms were getting damp
pulse growing thready
nerves hanging by a string
yes — you do this thing
just say……… Hi!
noooo… she’s left the shop!
felt that string go — POP!

Rob, you had fun with the prompt and this “almost” scenario, with musical support, made me smile.
😉
Hi Rob, I really enjoyed the beat of your poem. Nerves do hang by a thread at times. The reader can feel the narrators anxiety.
So very pleased this resonated for you True. It was a fun one to have done my friend… 😉
Not close enough to get closeness…
He who hesitates is lost… 🙂
