AN ODE TO FRIEDA

RSS

By Chuck Shorter

YOU AINT GONNA FOOL ME WOMAN WITH YO SLEEK PHYSIQUE 'N' "COME HITHER" SMILE. I'VE HAD MORE THAN A PEEK BEHIND THE FACADE. HOW MANY INNOCENTS HAVE YOU ENSLAVED,IN YOUR POSH, DIM - LIT BOUDOUIR? PRETTY YOUNG LASSES AND MUSCLED HUNKS ALIKE? STRANGE THAT NONE BUT ME HAS EVER NOTICED, YOUR GLASSY,OSBIDINE EYES AND SCORNFUL,SNEERING SMILE COLD,EMOTIONLESS,UNCARING. IS THIS WHY YOU HATE ME OR SHOULD I SAY FEAR? KNOWING I'LL NEVER BE ENTRAPPED WITHIN YOUR DANK,MUSTY RECESSES, UNLIKE THOSE HELPLESS FLIES BEFORE! DONT PUSH YOUR LUCK LADY OR YOU'LL MEET YOUR MAKER TOO SOON. IF YOU'RE A SNAKE,REMEMBER THERE ARE SCORPIONS TOO; AND THEIR VENOM'S AS DEADLY AS YOURS CHUCK SHORTER Erase Edit

Wow! a very well written ominous poem/Ode To Frieda.This poem rings clear with warnings and threats...
I like the style in which you have crafted this piece, and hope that "Frieda" is a metaphore of evil , and not a person.
