The art of seduction
begins tonight,
a delicate task of
mystery, temptation.
You glimpse me, candlelit,
ivory laced neglige.
From the sidewalk
your eyes narrow, linger.
My lips pucker and blow,
bathe me in darkness,
you stand motionless
beneath the street lamp.
I smile, pray this puts to death,
"She's just the girl next door".

This is for Magpie Tales #150 & Friday Flash 55.
I have been very sick this past month. A series of flu, cold, sore throats... I hear it is quite contagious and rampant this year and hope it escapes most of you! I think I'm on the road to recovery ... but you should see my house (at least I know I'm needed. :)

Just a glimpse to tantalize the senses. Well done.
Very cool poem - the girl next door! Ha....
I'm so sorry about your flu - I've had one too - much better now, but still rather tired. k.
BRAVO! The Girl Next Door shows her secret crush side.
I hope you are feeling better ~
Love the art of seduction ~
Yep, thinking the girl-next-door is done.
well now...that is one way to keep spice in a marriage...esp after being sick so long...hope you are feeling better margaret...
Brian! ha ha This is not about me... it's about a teenage girl and the "boy next door".
Ha ha... can't even imagine doing this. My luck, I would have my glasses off and mistake my teenage son for my husband... ha ha... OH... yeah, not gonna even try this. :)
It's always good to know you are needed! Glad you are feeling on the mend. enjoyed your poem!
Robyn... I'm actually convinced they couldn't survive without me. After three days in bed -- a war zone has erupted within the walls of my house! :)
I do hope you're feeling better now. This is a great poem. I love the bit of exhibitionism.
Very sensual take on a sensual photograph. Last line is a killer. Sorry you've been sick. It's supposed to be a bad year for the flu.
Margaret Bednar...?
Wow...Now I'm running a fever.
Once again you NEVER fail to amaze
Loved your seductive 55
Thanks for this marvelous story in spite of your Ague.
Have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
Amazing that you could write something so worthy when you're feeling sick. Enjoyed reading this. Don't worry about the house, just get well.
I loved this poem ... seductive indeed :-)
Do take care of yourself ...
I love the outdoor, lamp lit mystery!
This was stunning! I love how you captured the seduction ;D
Get well...the house will wait!

The girl next door is a myth .. your poem is proof positive!
We have been concerned for you, happy to know you are on the mend. Now, get busy!!!
I think a lot of men would like to live next door to THAT girl! What a fetching 55!
Love the unexpected ending...
I'm so sorry you've been so sick, Margaret. I pray you're on the mend. In the meantime, you sure haven't lost your poetic touch!
