Magaly asks us to consider a time we had to decide between two equally yummy options ~~ and away we go!!! Extra points if you pick who I chose!
in silvery curls and lipstick reds ?
fox-trotting in my sequin shoes ?
wild enough to choose a muse ?
Listen close, I've got a plight
two gents there last Friday night
one a poet, speaks in rhyme
waltzed me through dessert and wine
the other? Gads, he's tall and tan
has a Harley, calls me Ma'am!
the poet whispered "seize the day"
the biker roared "let's go, let's play"
I fanned my face, my heart beat fast
who to chose? which die to cast?
each brings thrills in his own way
like chocolate fudge or Crème Brûlée
one reads Keats beneath the stars
the other? off to roadside bars!
so I'll not choose, at least not yet
lest we forget, I'm no coquette
i've earned the right to test drive both
one night a dance with polished flair
a wild ride next, wind in my hair!
cheers to me, still full of glee
flinging sparks at eighty-three
life's a banquet, grab a plate
"HE" made the cut ~ must not be late!!
Ha ha, good for you! I'd like to think you chose a wild ride with the owner of the Harley. After all, you can write your own poems! But I guess it depends on whether you want a fling or something more serious. The poet might be better for the long haul; macho can become boring very soon.
ReplyDeleteThe Poet also had a beautiful voice ~~~ loved serenading me. An easy choice.
DeleteAh yes, that would indeed be wonderful.
DeleteWonderful poem, Helen!
ReplyDeleteI liked that it mentions that everything has its own emotions and everyone chooses!!
I liked this
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sample both! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou know Helen any more of this behaviour and you are going to find yourself expelled from the boring old ladies morning tea society. You are setting a very poor example. Why in the last few days a number of our geriatric members have turned up sporting leather jackets, jeans with tattoos.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who you are ~ but I think I love you!! Rock on Woonie!
DeleteThat poem is you, Helen. I admire your spark and outlook on life.
ReplyDeleteI choose Motorcycle Man.
