fille de joie

she eyed him carefully.


giving him her best come-hither look
as her hands slowly slipped
through the layers of fabric


he watched her half frightened


wondering what would come next
with shaking arms pulled her closer
holding nothing back


she smiled like a hunter


an evil little grin
she liked this little game
she played: just like a man.

    I like this write because I relate to it. You know I've been called a bit of a man-eater, and sometimes a heart breaker or a "player". Not because I'm mean and heartless, I just know how to play the game "like a man," and I know how to beat them at it...

    I loved the line "he watched her half-frightened." It is very good, and well placed.

    I loved the ending too, again, because I felt like this poem is somewhat definitive of me, (or at least was because now I am with Paul and I no longer see love as a game, ya know?)


    I don't know what kind of crazy thoughts went through your head to make you think you were not good enough for one of my contests, you know thats crazy. I hardly ever read anything from you that I don't absolutely love...

    Okay, and now what does the title mean, should I know this? Probably, but I'm on my deathbed so I need help.

    Love you hun, See you soon.

    -Shirley

      lol. I'm so glad you like this...

      it's because when it comes to Allpoetry, and life... you make me feel like the less pretty fat sister that no one really likes but is nice to because you're incredible. lol. I totally turn green whenever I read anything you write.

      you're on your death bed? oh no! should I start walking now??

      the title is French for a "joy girl" or hooker, it seemed to fit, because girls can't be players without people calling them whores. which blows. lol

        ((Okay, Shirley loves title! Perfect fit.))

        You are so insane, you know that your ten times the poet I am.. Mine are always choppy and yours are always smooth and powerful. Me = Jealous.

        Yea, I'm on my deathbed, I passed out twice today, and I've had to work 30 hours in the past three days (including today).. I'm dizzy and in pain and stuff. I have to go to the female doctor. I don't wanna.
