The Mistress

by Chelsey   Jan 25, 2011


The mistress-
Warm hands, cold hearted
her every move worshiped
He smothers her in adoration
lust radiantly beaming from his eyes
Untold vows form on his lips
never exiting his mouth
all he seeks is her beauty

The mistress-
Home wrecker and homebody
She thrives on being his home
Making her deliverance epic
Her body an open invitation

The mistress-
Black veil, red lipstick
diamonds on her neck
Treasured like the queens dowry
Nestled, he holds her
a far different touch
than his wife feels

    I hate to be one of those "great job" people, but honestly I've got nothing to say about it other than it's great. I hate cheaters! Damn cowards.

    I like how this mirrors "the wife" poem, although it would have been a stronger like if you'd maybe used the same sort of structure (even though you're going for free-form haha).

    The repetition of "the mistress" is really effective and the way you reversed the old cold hands warm heart cliche is pretty cool.

    Very well written. I especially like
    "a far different touch
    than his wife feels"
    It seems to sum up the intent and betrayal. I also like the form you used for this poem. It makes it stand out from the norm. Good Work!

    I liked the first two stanza's alot and enjoyed reading them

    "The mistress-
    Black veil, red lipstick
    diamonds on her neck
    Treasured like the queens dowry
    Nestled, he holds her
    a far different touch
    than his wife feels"

    ^ as for the above I felt it was a typical description of a mistress. I feel you could have been a bit more creative

    still overall a good poem

    5/5
