The Baleful Mouth Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

The Baleful Mouth

Rating: 5.0


She has the pouty lips
Of a movie star
Lips that resemble
The Cupid's bow
And the magic smile
Of Mona Lisa.

But her mouth
Is governed by the laws of hatred
Deceit and lies
She utters evil
Anopheles mosquitoes
Fly from her sexy orifice.

She could unmake a hero
By the twist of her tongue
When she draws her lipstick
In her fine slightly parted lips
Men lose their minds
Succumb to her trap.

She flatters you
With all the nicest words on earth
Seasons them with mint and rosemary
Yet, they act as razorblades
And cut you into pieces.

She could set in motion
And in fire
An entire community
Even a whole country
By the power of her tongue

It's a typical poem that laudably articulates the character of a person which could be so elusive! Lips resemble 'The Cupid's bow'....the smile is as beautiful as we find in ' Mona Lisa'! It's a very organized piece of poetry that creates a lot of interest in reader's mind to move to the next line what you are going to express! Really, I admire penning style! (10)

A beast more than beauty, rather a dragon emitting fire, wonderfully analysed, and well described poem.

She has the pouty lips of a movie star but she lacks inner virtues! I find this peculiar character in some women at you have meticulously observed! A brilliant write that is worth reading again and again! Stay blessed!
