She-Wolf
Willing, always eager to please.
Keeps her sharp incisors sheathed
beneath those slick, kissy-wet lips.
Flops that pink, ever-lapping tongue.
Someone trained her well.
Obedient. Impeccably groomed.
Brushed up glossy. Pick me!
The most loyal girl. Playing
his games. A big competition
with all those other bitches.
She’d learned to sit, stay, fetch.
Does his bidding. For treats.
Big eyes and dribbling stupidity
work for him. Her dopey grin.
Head lolled to one side. Please.
He knows she is always hungry.
Salivary glands weep for meat,
hot flesh to tear. Full moon night.
She leaves him dead, not playing.
She leaves his bed. To run.
And this is what I had on repeat whilst writing this… Disco wolfiness!
I really liked that song. And loved the video
I can well imagine. She’s a very pretty lady – and very bendy too!
An interesting, thought-provoking poem … I get the feeing this metaphor might be stretched some more …
Hmmm, possibly. But I wanted to keep it fairly compact for this one.
I see the double meaning here and I love it. Can’t see this video as on my phone so don’t know yet what it is will check it out soon as. Great write as ever
xx
Thanks Willow.
OH!I love the video if only I could dance like that!…is it dancing! ??
It’s definitely dancing! Albeit not of the “round the handbags at Ritzy’s on a Sat night” variety. I do think she’s rather amazing!
Wow! Very good. You took me way out of my confort zone here Holly, I think I have led a very sheltered life! Great poem and video too. Oh to be even a 1000th that bendy!! And that young again too
,
I’ve never been that bendy either!
Au contraire ma chere, Vous êtes très flexible, au moins dans le vers!
Oooh! I feel all sophisticated, getting a blog comment in French! Even if I had to check with Google Translate that it meant what I thought it did – and what a lovely comment it is too! Flexibility with language…. I like it!
So well written, Holly, loved the metaphor and the video is perfect…I can see how inspiring it was for you to write this! I just love your use of language…:)
Thanks Lauren. Sometimes I’ll get a song in my head all day and it demands a poem. Or sometimes I’ll write a poem and it makes me think of a song. Not that I’m at all musical myself…

Hi Vikki! Thanks for the nomination – I don’t tend to hand them on (cos I never know who to pick!), but I truly appreciate the thought. xx
