The Seductress Poem by louis rams
The Seductress
all her life, by men she had been put down
she tried so much to smile, but could only frown.
she was beautiful, but men could not see
'that she had a rare quality'.
they took advantage, because she was soft spoken
and her heart was always broken.
she decided that a profession she must seek
and that she must reach the highest peak.
she decided a teacher she would become.
in her mind: ' better than her, there was none'.
she graduated with the highest marks
and in the best school she got her start.
and at the age of twenty two
she had done all that she could do.
then when the new term started,
she became open hearted.
she started to teach her students
one on one, and found herself under the gun.
in her class, a fourteen year old arrived
and she started to visualize
his eyes so blue, his hair so black
from her teaching, it did distract.
the more she taught, the more she fought
all the pent up feelings inside
to the point that she did'nt hide.
she started to get closer to him
knowing that she was commiting a sin.
he responded like any young teenage boy would do
and told her: i want to get closer to you.
she let him touch her pounding breast
and from there you could imagine the rest.
soon it spread throughout the school
that she had broken the golden rule.
then the school board found it out
and the public became aware
that with a minor she could not share
all the things that she learned in life.
she got pregnant and became his wife.
his parents she did know
but to jail she did go.
now that she's out, and has child number two
he does' nt know just what to do.
but he had gotten his education
and that may be his salvation
I prefer universal education rather then university education. Well narrated.
As always you kept me interested through out sir.. Very nice to read.. You do have your own style too.. I mean, not many write poems like this. I liked the message too, yeah these things can happen.. You know some Sri Lankan girls committed suicide, after prefects found some explicit content in their phones.. Sri Lankan society, is kind of conventional. Women are confined to certain norms... so prefects found those things.. and the girl committed suicide, cause she found it hard to face her parents... Hey that is a different story all together, lots of buzz about that affair these days.. I mean if such a thing happened here in S.L, I have no idea what could happen to the girl.. as for your poem, it is great as always, extremely readable and as always kept me engrossed through out..10+++ cheers// Shan
I really believe in the wise words spoken.... He who has never sin, may cast the first stone. Loved the last line of...He got his education. The education really says it all. The boy becomes a man, perhaps a little quickly. Does he follow his heart or listen to the criticism of others. Because she is the older one, society knocks her down once again... The first time she may had felt true happiness. Definitly a fine line in life and a great debater. My honest thought about it, is. If they are truly happy with each other then it's no one else busness, but then that's not the way life works Thanks for the brain tease louis
Truth is that this happens. There is such a fine line in life. Things happen and life changes forever. This poems starts out in one way and then takes a turn to another. Nice writing to do this. Surprising poetry has a hook that takes the reader on a ride. Nice job. DC
Such thing happens in life between man and the one he chooses to wife But my say is that sin is sin the age didnt matter, but its the fact they sin That really angered God and to me, nothign matters, but the say of God.
