revenge

he's really my true love - I saw him first
I took one look and weakened at the knees
I thought, to start, my heart would nearly burst
but, damn it, now he's Kimberley's new squeeze

O fickle heart of finger, that of fate
he smiled and stared, so sensual, at my lip
when Kimberley called out to him to wait
pretending she was swooning - 'bout to slip

she timed it so he'd catch her when she fell
O how so cleverly she set the bait
their eyes engaged - not much more left to tell
except she once was, one time, my good mate

I'm buying glossies, reading trends and fashions
I'm learning, now, to be a fatal femme
to stun him with my new sophistications
and steal him off of her, then promptly dump him

Your return has inspired me, Judyanne, to critique and writing. There is so much work (in the Balinese meaning of the word, both labour and play) to be done here at Neopoet! Thank you.

cheers,

Love the way you spin it.

So very glad you liked this

I hope your feeling better.... a foreign body sitting under your skin must be most uncomfortable
I guess eventually you'll adjust to it
at least it's keeping a watch on that ticker of yours and that's a good thing

That touched my heart and made me realize love really is a nasty thing.

Well expressed dear judy.
S3, L4 once was, one time ... reads like a repetition of the same words.
I really love the true emotions in this though I don't agree with you in the revenge thing.
He is a loser, so why would I think much of him?
At least my view.

Except she once was, one time, my best friend
repetition - a poetic devise, to emphasise the fact that is no longer the case

- it's only a poem rula - just a bit of fun, since we're in the middle of a humour workshop... not into revenge myself - especially over a man lol

What i meant was two sides of a woman's personality...starkly different...you know now what i mean?....:)

Regards,

raj (sublime_ocean)

simply put, this is great. my favorite part is the bit about dumping him :)

mag

Thanks mag
I'm glad you liked this
I imagine that dumping him is the more clever thing to do - he wouldn't know how to be faithful

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return

Lol - man / woman - we're only three letters different
