Literary Flirtation

I’ve had a few successful love affairs,
you know; heated discussions, the sparks, the flairs.
Chemistry didn’t run on a nuclear basis.
Rumors never spread to full grown thesis,
but you should see me in my role as a scribe,
seductive, sassy, with a funky vibe.

Imagination and quills are my needed attire.
You’ll quickly know I’m THE one to hire
for countless worlds I am able to conceive,
there’s nothing I can’t pull from my sleeve.
You snort and sigh as I brag and boast,
but, baby, to thousand voices I am sole host.

Kisses, charms, embraces I so gently tattoo,
with me you’ll salivate for every taboo.
With a flick of the wrist I bring fates to culmination
I am THE expert of growing stories for cultivation.
So break your heels, hurry, find your nearest station,
dial my muse, sign, become my idea salvation.   

Author notes

So the idea behind this one is the male bravado boasting of a writer aimed to an idea, which is in a female shape. I hope you at least snicker, because it's made for fun.

    It was definitely fun! I love the lighthearted feel of this, and especially the sassy kind of boasting. I really like the imagery in "With a flick of the wrist I bring fates to culmination" and the wordplay and humor throughout. Overall, I really like where you took the prompt, you made it fun and kept the poetry in it as well.

    Well penned,
    ~lost

      Aimed to please as always and the prompt itself screamed FUN to me, so there was no other way to write it down. A boast should answer a boast and I am glad that you enjoyed it.

    It is fun and sassy! I like the touches of rhyme and the overall tone is one
    that is {overly} confident. I especially liked tattoo as it is used in metaphor
    to inking stories. And I did grin. This flirty and funky piece delivers on the dual projection. It would be quite the original pick-up line! Blue

      It just felt like a dizzy pop bubble in me and I had so much fun writing this. This prompt to me came only as an inside joke good friends make and like to goof a bit, so here is my interpretation. Glad you find it funny.
