The siren’s pen beckons for affection
Drawing you close by his direction
With the promise of confection
And no sense of deception
Or feeling rejection
Only election
To elation
Perfection
Erect
Shun?

“no sense of deception or feeling rejection,” – Yes, and thank God for the poets, there. None are excluded in it, each can take their own reading in a poem, each can find sanctuary in its words. Yet in the writing and the pursuit, do the poets erect their own shunning? Of course there’s other ways to take the final lines…
Splendid work though. Great one for the One Shot!
Yeah, some poets just want to have fu un..
I had a definite interpretation for the final lines, coupled (as it were) with the picture: STEAMY!!!
Will try and keep logging on, but don’t expect much from me before Feb. Keep the faith and keep writing! I had to drop out of the writing daily group, but I am scribbling in my journal for now. Do love the scritchity-scratch!
Peace, Amy
Ok Doky.. catch u on the other side.. ..smiles..
This was as enticing as the photograph screams kiss me here! Sensitively and seductively penned Boogaloo!
We have a mutual admiration this week.
Nice wordplay. And yep, I’d have to say the neck angle looks phallic. The siren’s pen that begins the poem seems like the shun premeditated in a way. Very creative.
Thanks for the comments Adam. Meant to amuse and be playful.
This made me smile, such possibility of rude interpretations, but subtle enough that my gran could read it and find a completely different and very poetic interpretation. Really interesting structure and the words you’ve carefully selected work really well in each line. =)
I’m happy for the smile. It is meant to be amusing and playful. Thanks for the visit as well.
ha. love the pic and it brings right to the front your verse…nicely played on the words. happy one shot!
Appreciate the comment and the visit.
You made it work it in all its mechanical phallic glory from the descent of the words to the erect(ion) of the chin in the image. Gay @beachanny
I’m glad you liked the effect. ..smiles..
Well that was extraordinarily well crafted.
I just knew you’d like it.. oh yes I did.. ..smiles..
Happy Rally!
Life has to be fun, it is the only one we got
In deed, in thought and action. ..smiles..
Have never seen an erect shun, but I can imagine what it looks like!
In this one imagination is essential.. I think I had one before… girders, nut, bolts, pullies..
Love the word play. A little naughty fun!
Thanks for saying..
I’m still chuckling that you actually found that pic to go with this poem…perfect!
You’d be surprised at what flicker has under Creative Commons.
I’m happy you were able to laugh with me..
Amazing..this was simply put, wonderful..
Oh my i liked everythig from the inuendo, the rhyme, the picture, the format..all of it.. great One Shot!!!
Thanks Lynne. I appreciate your visit and comments.

Thanks.. Shall we dance? ..smiles..

Kellie
Thanks, kiddo!
Playing with words I see. I like it! I enjoy the wit very much. I can never get enough of play on words. very clever.
Thanks I try to have fun when I can.
Whew, someone open a window here, the words are making me steam. (That is, a poem well done.)
Thank You Terresa. I have extra fans just for this type of reaction..
You left me in {{{giggles}}} ~ Love it! ♥
That’s a good thing! Keep smiling!
oh my god the giggles. I blushed. I well and truly blushed when I got to the end. Was NOT expecting it, but wholly delighted it in when I got there. *tips hat* Well played.
Thanks for the visit and the comments. I’m happy you enjoyed it.
Michael
Sensual and stunning word play..i like the form of the lines missing one word at a time..Stirring one shot..:)
Thanks for the kind words and the visit!
this was really good…the flow and rhyme was excellent…really liked this and the comments really back up what us a damn good poem..cheers pete
That means a lot coming from you. Thank you.
Love your wordplay! Words and forms like these are what make poetry so darn fun. I just discovered the etheree a couple weeks ago and tried it out myself– it’s a form that just begs to be played with! If you care to check mine out, it’s here:

Happy One Shot!
Thanks. Checked both your blogs and liked what I seen!
oh la la – very well done…cough…
That’s what the doctor said at my last visit.. ..smiles..
Wow!
..smiles..
well done. I really like the form.
Someone called it reverse etheree. I call it getting to the point.
The descending cascade (or is it ascending?) of the rhyme pulls you right into it. Well done.
Thanks Glynn.
“C’est Magnifique”
Clever, witty, humorous, and artistically done. Love the photo -word play.
Being I am a very visual person, this was a sheer delight.
cheers,
joanny
Thanks, Joanny. Your blog is very visual.
Clever. Is there a name for this form?
Reverse etheree. I call it getting to the point. ..smiles..
Hot. Your form led us right down to the steamy… um, climax. Nicely done.
Glad you had fun, Patti!
Both funny and clever. I can’t remember if you read my post “she’s selling guitar lessons, right?” but I think it’s on the same wave length…
Just seen it.. Funny.
Seductive with not so covert guiding picture attached… there are various meanings to this poem and what suits me best is the feeling of being at the verge of committing… I liked the word Erect that you used to convey and guide various meanings to the whole of the verse…
thanks for sharing..

erotic …love the end.
Great! Got to enjoy life some of the time. ..smiles..
Nice form with steam attached. I do look at the picture and think of a vampire ready to bite. Don’t ask
It’s nice you stopped by!
