Poem Commentary

not one of my favorites, but...

Temptress

In a glistening web of deceit, patiently she’ll wait
By the irresistible device she’s created, it’s beauty now used for her bait.
It wont be very long before her trap has caught her victims eye,
Hypnotized, he’ll blindly walk himself into her cleverly elaborate lie.
She easily seduces him and makes him quite at ease,
Although in reality she’s simply tending only to her needs.
Once he’s served his purpose, then he’ll see he’s been misled,
When she nonchalantly strikes for the kill, gobbling up his head.
Immediately she returns to work, another web to weave,
And another hopeless soul she’ll be ready to deceive.
It’s the never ending  cycle of life, in which she’s able to thrive,
By being the predator rather than prey, the only way to survive.

uhmm prey or pray? they say a snake preys but a snake was living in the apple tree words are funny better pray you dont fall prey to not think your a victim when prey come to get you.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
