She calls to you across a crowded room
No such beauty has noticed you before
known by many less eager men
they call her the praying mantis
her body voicing you to advance
what does she sees in you
you don't hesitate or question
their fear bid you no warning
her beauty slant your judgement
knowing your modest wife awaits your drunken taste
you are a man with manly appetites
you may have your way with her
but she will have her's too
as her naked body approaches yours in her bed
blood splattered, your head shucked across the floor
Inspired by the photo above, write a poem that includes the words ‘voicing’, ‘shucked’, and ‘slant’.”
