Strumpet
Painted woman
Summoner of erotica
Naked flesh
A hummingbird with wings
Flying forward to suck the sweet of nectar
Breasts that sing to gathered suitors
Power erupted in every sway of ample hips
Firmness grants permission
For rapid and voluptuous spawning
A merry-go-round of lust
A claim-jumper of night sheets
Heaving and moaning till twilight calls
Chiseled harlot home
And error exposes
A dark
Fresh tar in summer’s heat
Sticky, scorching, with a clinging stench
Spit and spit
The leftovers of hollowed hearts
Without thought of where hooves tread
Before the curtain closes tainted impudence
And truth is captured
In rearview mirror
And image crushed whole

Ooh this one is filled with the power of creation, illusion and destruction! Being as I’m not always in tune with others, I suspect I was not supposed to enjoy the power I think it must have given its writer as much as I did. Oh well! I like it anyway!!
Oh….I enjoyed the power aspect as well…There is power in sensuality and womanhood….guess best to use power in beneficial way. Love the way your mind works. So smart you are. Sam
Great poem, lots of emotion in this. Met a few women like this stumpet in my time. I tend to avoid them they cause me too much headmess.
Wonderful image, I don’t really know much about the mermaid apart from Ariel and the scary merpeople in Harry Potter. I’ll probably read up on them now, so I can get a deeper look into your poem. Thanks for creating a new puzzle for me. Hope you are ready for ALL the many facts my aspie brain might bore you with later…LOL
I love you loads. Me. Xxx 🙂 ❤
he, he……yes, I’ve met a few trumpets myself!!! 🙂 Let me know ALL about your mermaid research. They can be very mean and manipulative……tricksters they are. I shall create a puzzle anytime, Darling. My pleasure. Love you sunshine. Sam 🙂
Whoo! This one got me, uh, well let’s just say I had to cool off in the cold water in the big drinking dish/swimming pool. Great writing, Sam!
he, he….Silly Dog!!!! Great time of year for a dip in the pool. Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for the visit. 🙂 Sam
YES! beautiful lines in this one, title included.
Thank you very much. So glad to hear you liked the title! 🙂
ooooo…. what an enticing and thought provoking poetic wonder this is Sam…. ‘The Strumpet’ – perfect title – and the imagery is magnificent. “the leftovers of hollowed hearts…” Just stirring to the soul. We need to get you a publisher pronto my dear sea sister 🙂 xo
Thank you Robyn! You are a dearheart. Isn’t Strumpet a cool word. I think you should take a strumpet photograph…imagine that one! Could be a flower or weed…..something to think about. You are so sweet about the publishing 🙂 I feel like I’ve met my goal in reaching others…that was my “soul” purpose. HUGS seasister ~ Sam 🙂
Great poem, Sam, nearly epic in its impact. I was overwhelmed with emotion within a few lines. Wow!

Yeeehaaa!!! Nothing like a daytime ride on the “merry-go-round of lust” to take the edge off! Just the right touch of bawdiness, Sam! You go!
love the word “bawdiness.” You rock, George! Thanks for the support. Go, me! he he 🙂 Sam
Oh what do I see before me? My virgin eyes, do they decieve me, that I may read such a sumptuous buffet of carnality on this hot summer’s day. I blush…and nibble on chocolates:-)
Divine words you scribe my lovely lady of the day…..may the chocolate soothe the inner desire and lead you into lover’s dreams…he he….he he…..Loved your comment, so!!! xoxoxo So clever you are. 🙂
