For Later (RWP Prompt #92)

I never know where the prompts generously provided me from ReadWritePoem.Org will take me. RWP #91 took me deeply into memory. I crashed head long into soulfulness and found myself in destinations I don’t choose to go without nudging.

Today’s prompt from what I sometimes call a “Word Pool” I wrote a playful poem, flirtatious – and perhaps engaging a different side of me, coming from the third person.

I am enjoying it for reasons entirely different than last week’s offerings.

(For Later)

She has a relevant remedy

Trendy confections none sweeter

She makes sure she is

Conforming nothing to the

Clever Clover colored limelight

She flips her hair and twists her hip

“I’m worth more than your pittance, boy.”

She extends her hand to the black haired

Scofflaw with a feather in his fedora

“This isn’t for the multitudes, my

Plum task is for the bold few….”

With a wink and a curved come hither finger

She cleans the husk from the corn

Pouts just slightly as she plunges it

Into the pot of boiling water and

Melts butter

For later

I like how it all ends in boiled corn and butter.

These Bakersfield broads are such saucy little cooks!

I like the alliteration and slant rhyme (feather - fedora, butter - later, pouts - plunges -pot, flips-twists-hip-pittance).

[tamra at laughingdove]

[gautami tripathy]

for a pittance, you buy that confection

[Amulya Rajan]

Like the way you set the mood and then end it with corn and butter :)

[Nathan]

I really like those last two lines -- a great way to finish.

[Barbara]

I see you have a fresh meaning for huckster.

Thank you, each and all. I never expected so many comments on my (very different from my norm) poem. :-)
