Miss Take
There were far too many posed photographs
for his liking
Remember the one in the turquoise two piece
…
And the praise that she craved fed her hunger
far longer than was
reasonable, or fashionable, or natural, to do ..
…
but when she found out that not one of them
loved her
and all they ever wanted to do was to fuck her
…
What a let down that must surely have been ..
Hey now tho'
she is nothing but history and barely even that ..

The story of my life, even here I missed the easy take.
........................ Never give up .... that's my motto .............. Cheers Suresh ....................... Neville
Aww, I will meet her, and treat her nicely.....not the penultimate stanza. Woof! No, says Fido.
But how will I ever have any nice slap and tickle, with Fido always in tow? He won't stay in the doghouse, to give me a break! lol.
........................................ Thanks for daring to take a peek Steven
She was a tragedy. Good read Neville.
.......................................... thank you Jerry .. much appreciated ..
Beauty is only skin deep eh? As a youngster I used to wish I was better looking so that I could enjoy the attention of the really beautiful girls who's presence teased my libido. With a few years beneath my belt came the realisation that i was better off not getting involved with their vicious ego's.
It must be very painful for them when realisation dawns upon them and all their values along with lovers fade into insignificance as you well describe here.
Thanks for checking in and checking this one out for me DA .. some things need to be said and some things just need to be acknowledged ... Cheers my friend n truly ...
Enjoyed your take on Miss Take!
................................................................... thank you kindly Fred ... and truly
But when the sun kissed her eyelashes,
and she smiled so sweetly
Somewhere beneath her lips
Her body felt loved
......................... your review comment is poetry itself RB .. and I would be honoured if you posted it here as such ................................. Neville
Sure will thank you
Beauty is so mistaken just by looking at people, to see their real beauty you must look deeply into their eyes.
Andy
........................................................ thank you kindly Andy .............. Neville
The ephemeral nature of culturally imposed standards of ‘beauty’ clearly portrayed as the load of shit it is.
Thanks Neville
... not everything is pretty, is it .. whether real, imagined or in the very glue that binds everything together .. poetry that is ... thank you DD ..
Methinks a Miss as explained here will ever Take as long as hunger for praise is craved. Much food for thought in this needed write Nev.
...................... thank you dear Fay .. and muchly too my lady ..
what a morose reality
you depict so acutely, you empathetically gifted Poet...
oh how - we belittle
each other's self-worth, just
to keep ourselves afloat...
I like to interpret, when Keat's wrote
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
he was referring, to the simple fact
that only 'born-of' Truth can Beauty ever meaningfully exist
with tangible worth
all else: it's but, our glorified
obsession with possession
of all things we deem
aesthetically pleasing, however
momentarily our 'interest' - lingers
after consumption...
a daringly brilliant write my friend! forgive me if I have imprinted my own blinkered impression as to the meaning behind your words, its just my overzealous nature 'acting-up', lol
you are and ever will be more than merely welcome to adorn and embellish any of my pages here my friend ................. and for these, I thank you and true ....
OOh, a great one if I do say so myself!
Your visiting these words is much appreciated Christina & I thank you for it, if I do say so myself both tooly and truly ..
