Tables Turned
44
This poem was inspired by Mighty Mom's comment on my I Hunger hub. She said, "the hunter becomes the hunted, the thrill is in the chase, and all that usual male as pursuer stuff turned right back at them."
I realize not all men are such predators, so don't get your hackles up. But for those that are, this poem is for you.
Next time I will be like a man
Prowling for a delicious form
I will shove my emotions
Firmly in my back pocket
And lead with my hormones
My heart bound and locked
I will track the pheromones
And pounce on the sleekest of the pack
Then stand proudly over my kill
Devouring you until I’ve had my fill
I will please you then I will leave you
At the inkling of complication
With no remorse or reservation
For it was always about the hunt
Never about the prey

Gypsy thanks for always being so quick to comment on my hubs!
Very nice Randy B! Gypsy's always a quick one!
Finally a poem about me! Um...but seriously folks...while I love your poetry and your skillful use of the language and structure, this attitude is...um...well, this is the third thing I've read tonight in a span of a few minutes that...um...oh nevermind.
Nice poem. I luv ya!
Thanks for popin' in KCC!
Oh chill Chris, its just tongue in cheek. Now I'm gonna have to go see what you've been reading.
Oh RB, not only do I approve, I think this is fab! I think my favorite line is "
I will shove my emotions
Firmly in my back pocket
And lead with my hormones"
How like a man to utilize a back pocket instead of your purse:-). And I suppose leading with our hormones is the closest we'll ever get to thinking with our "little head" eh? But the sentiment is obviously there- you certainly freaked poor Christoph out:-). Thumbs up. You go!
Thanks for the inspiration MM. I'm glad you like it and approve, now I can go to bed... alone. But hey, tomorrow is a new day and a new hunt.
Okay, nice poem and all. Nicely versed, but um.... this would be a bad thing?
seems about right to me!!!
To a woman, used up and left is usually a bad thing PM. If it works for you as the victim, then great!
Thanks for coming by for a read Hawks!
Wow. Powerful words. Really liked it. Thanks.
Alekhouse, I'm glad you like it. Thanks for commenting.
couldn't help myself. I am sure that many a male would love to have you pounce upon them, even if but for a night.
To use my new favorite idiom,
What a bonbon and me with diabetes!
I do understand what you are saying though and couldn't agree with you more.
I'm on the hunt today.. should prove interesting!! I have my "stealth-suit" on!!
I on the other hand PM, don't have diabetes, but I don't have a bonbon either. Damn it.
Happy hunting CV. What's your stealth suit look like?
That was AMAZING Randy! I am known for 'spamming' hubs with my crazy comments but I can't say more for this poem of yers. Let's both drink to it *raises a bottle of the Finesse French wine*
enjoyed that...... I think
Nazishnasim - Well gosh, I'm glad you like it that much!
Brenda - Thanks for stopping by for a read.
This Rocks Randy, a skilled Huntress is a formidable opponent. :)
Thanks Trooper, to bad I'm all talk.
ooohh I like it--tables have definitely turned hehe
Ya feel the power Janetta?
Wow,
I will please you then I will leave you
Let the revolution begin :) Great stuff Randy!
Thank you Shamel! Always like to hear from you.
Lemme see....it was Candie's Birthday Thursday...so I'm guessing her stealth suit looks a lot like her "Birthday Suit"
Just wanted to remind you that men and women are different for a reason.....and Viva la difference. I think you should become more of a hunter.
Ya think so Blue? And ignore those who try to capture me? Perhaps I'll give it a try.
You can slow down and get caught occasionally too.
Well that on, I learned in second grade!
Well this is an interesting one for me for I feel as though Ive always come from both sides!
You call your self a vegetarian but I know you to be a carnivore.
