... but not too sweet.


Poem Artwork

Sweet Revenge

A seedy bar in Half Moon Bay,
known for trysts, where lovers play

while lonely spouses wait at home
beside a clock and all alone.

A vengeful woman in a chair,
hoping someone sees her there.

A playful cat, a mouse she seeks,
eyeing men through fingers peeks,

fantasizing, nothing missed,
her mind goes racing down a list

of attributes to be beneath
in wanton loving 'tween the sheets.

Courage bolstered by her drinks,
seductive eyes give blatant winks,

and volumes spoken in her smile
telling them -- love me awhile.

The guilt now gone, her lesson learned,
revenge is sweet and now hate burned

at this same table where he sat
and broke her heart -- he saw to that,

while she sat waiting there at home
beside a clock and all alone.

You have a typo in the line -hoping someone sees here there-I think you meant her not here. I like the poem. You do an excellent job with human nature poems. I like the two line line rhyme scheme, also. I might try that. Nice job. I'm gonna read more of yours but probably not comment on them.

You are remarkable, CJ, to pen a poem such as this. I'll say this though, I feel sorry for all broken-hearted men and women. They shouldn't have to face that awful pain, still, I don't believe revenge is the way to heal a broken heart.

Much love...God Bless

CJ that was a fine poem, though I would have liked another ending. For revenge can never be sweet. Victor

No where, no time, no how is anything or anybody free from the imagination of a poet. You know CJ, she may have been collecting donations for the Salvation Army. (snicker...snort). All the great components of a good poem. Wonderfully written.
Here's looking at you kid Hugs
