The Bachelorette

Rose by rose you thin out the den.


Poem Artwork

 The Bachelorette   

Sexy, alluring, so nice on the eyes   

Smart, tasteful, such a tantalizing prize

Seductive, instructive, such kissable lips

Curvaceous, flirtatious, symmetrical hips.

You disgorge the hormones of 25 men

And you do it over and over and over again

Some behave like crocodiles in a discordant harem

Snapping and scrapping and hoping you’ll dare ‘em

Then rose by rose you thin out the den

Till you’re down to a couple who want to know when

You’ll select the one who passes your quiz

And not the one who's there for show biz

It’s the age old question to no one’s surprise

That’s not in the brains and not in the size

It’s not in the smiles or the waves in the ocean

It’s there in the eyes that exude poetry in motion

You want to know when this show is long past

How deep is your love and how long will it last?

I don't watch reality shows but I have been "in love" with women since grade two and Louisette who was in grade one. Thank you for sharing this. Love and peace,

Regis

Don't watch those programs...in fact don't watch any reality TV...of course "reality" is all in the viewers perception...giggle...nicely done, E! The rhythm in this piece is perfect...

I assume...the Bachelorette of your description, Edward
wouldn't be happy to be pinned down...and therefore, there is
a chance...when "interviewed" about her intentions, would
give answers that sound good but "lack" details...became a bit
political...say one thing (like "I do") and then ended up
doing another (like so many "certified decisions" this days).
The World...as she rather suspects...you may have noticed
right now...is a crazy place.
And then...could feel...as if she is going to be judged
for something she said/done...as if any attempt to explain
herself.......is just going to make her look "weak".
C'est la vie; we may not like it...but so many things
we have to accept.......because we cannot change it.
PS ...her decision to change her mind for the "right reason"
...actually...would show...a great strength........
Love your thoughts provoking and beautifully written poem.
With warm regards Isabella.

Ron: Giving up on ladies--real or imagined--is tantamount to giving up on life. There are other past times, but in the words of the song "there is nothing like a dame." That aside, the show is fun. It also helps to have two beautiful daughters.

I can't believe you watch that silly show. I gave up on the theatrics of years ago.

Great little poem though. You covered the territory beautifully. Every girl's dream to be the bachelorette and be wooed by many men. A fairy tale for our time.
