Woman Of The Night Poem by Linda Ori

Woman Of The Night

Rating: 4.6


The black cape floated soundlessly into the room......
All eyes turned to admire the shapely beauty within -
Long black tresses flowing like liquid fire by candlelight,
An air of mystery surrounded her, emanated from her
Like magnetic electrical charges - sparking and snapping;
She owned the room, and the dumb-struck figures within,
Captivated by the spell of her mere presence;
Energy flowed from each mind to the source
Filling her with power, enhancing her magic
As though they had been absorbed into her mystique.
Then slowly turning around to face her victims,
The cape caught on the overhead chandelier
And as she stepped forward, the cape and wig lifted off
And revealed her true identity.............................

Damn! I KNEW I should have worn that other costume!

Well, I dare say Linda, 'Mistress of the Whole-Mooned Night', you have certainly piqued my interest this eve in your highly unique intriguing, bewitching fashion; spellbinding, well-versed delineation, incorporating a child-like perspective all the while maintaining a delicious comedic ambience. 'Long black tresses flowing like liquid fire by candlelight, / An air of mystery surrounded her; emanating from her / Like magnetic electrical charges-sparking and snapping; ' 'her victims', you remarked upon? Wouldn't I love being victimised by you? Affirmative, it is past Hallowe'en and the American's Thanksgiving, but I am waiting earnestly to anticipate just what you will write about, as we close in on Christmas?

Written with 'over the top' flair and an eye for the absurd (I sense this actually happened) , this glorious lark of a poem twists like a corpse on the end of a rope. Great fun. Superbly written. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
