WICKED WOMAN

Wicked woman
a clothes slogan in my shirt
designed to catch the eye
of those who wish to be wicked women, why.

We grab at things that give us patina, style,
we clothe our bodies, minds
with themes that we admire.

We boast of knowledge
we haven't yet acquired,
and hope to make effect;
get admiration for our power of intellect.

When deep inside
we know we lack the insight to be wise,
have not learnt the basics of a theme
that needs intelligence.

A kind that clothes the mind with words to use,
to flourish, even hide
in circumstances where they do not fit the tide of thought;
in all cases we do not wish to be ignored.

Style / type: 
Free verse
Last few words: 
I have the label in my iPhone's red Italian leather case! So in Norwegian I am "Harry"- perhaps quaint- that is to have a phone case at all!

I'll definitely be getting all my stuff from there in hope of becoming one!

That's some comment FFFFrench,
yes its a brand name,
and lives in my iPhone cover reminding me to be one too!!
I can't stand those labels on my neck, so cut it out.

Is not of a wicked woman! you look straight down the line. are looks deceiving?

Should I say sadly not, the vampire-like woman
being the wished for norm of this twisted society,
shooting all in sight, and making dramas of blood and thunder,
that they lap up like hungry dogs let loose,
but yes you are right, I am just me loving life and nature,
the only wickedness being ...well that's up to others to decide!
Ha ha! Ann
