β€œLight me, handsome” was all she said.

I looked up from my drink. She was the most gorgeous dame I’d ever laid eyes on. I lit her cigarette, then mine.

β€œCare to buy me a steak, handsome?”

β€œBaby, I’d buy you the whole cow.”

Written for dVerse Poets Quadrille #208 –
β€œUndead To The World”.

You put your right hand in
you put your right hand out
you put your right hand in
and you shake it all about…

At this rate we’ll be here all night!

Vamp on over here, Sugar,
and give me some of that neck!

Heaving breasts beckon
A throbbing vein divine
Come to my side, darling Vampira
On your body I wish to dine

Eyes like burning embers glow
Skin smooth as fine alabaster
Waltz across the dance floor, my Vampira
Into the lifeless arms of your master

In A Groove

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

Written for dVerse Poets Quadrille #207 Spin Cycle

Hold my hand, honey
and take me for a spin
Twirl me β€˜round the dance floor
I’m loving the spin I’m in

Whisper those sweet nothings, baby
send shivers up my spine
and make my head spin, lover
tonight I’m gonna make you mine

Memories of Me

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

Written for dVerse Quadrille Monday #206.
Our prompt word is β€˜bend; here is my poem.

I long to be myself again,
before the pain began.
Now wistfully staring at
old photos
of a younger me,
lithe with slender arms
and shapely legs
which once did bend
with graceful ease.
Dancing dreams fill my nights;
I want to sleep forever.

Eat Me!

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

Written for dVerse Poets Pub Quadrille #203
β€˜feeling crabby’, where we are to include some
form of the word β€˜crab’. Here is my Quadrille.

Time after time
I have tried to
eat
a soft
shell
crab
sandwich.

It sounds so
appealing
but
tastes like
the chef
forgot
about
pealing

it.

Crunchy!
Crinky!
Croaky!
Cracky!

My crab
is crappy!

It’s like
listening
to
a CD
without
removing
the
shrink-wrap!

On Bended Knee

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

Lillian, tonight’s Pub Master, is hosting Quadrille Monday
at the dVerse Poets Pub. We’re asked to create a 44-word
poem using the word β€œfigment”. Here’s my poem.

She knelt
down on
bended
knee

Heard a
voice say
β€œCome to me”

It’s just a
figment,
this can’t be

A voice that
sounded
just like he

β€œI think
 I will count
to three

Then of his
ghost
I will be
free

One, two….”

Fade To Black

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

Written for dVerse Poets Quadrille #202
– Hello Darkness –
where we are asked to embrace the dark
in 44 poetic words.

Death creeps
in the night,
hiding in the
darkest of places
where junkies
shoot up
in the alleys
by dim light.

But no one
is around
to see
the relief
on their faces
when they fade
to black
and softly give up
the fight.

Like Spitting Into The Wind

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

De Jackson, aka WhimsyGizmo at dVerse Poet’s Pub
has asked us to write Poems of Place for Quadrille #201.
This is my submission.

That time I found
myself
in the principal’s office
because
I
screamed
at
the teacher
who tried to put
his hand
up
my
shirt,
then
being assaulted
again
at home
by
my
mother
who accused me
of
β€œasking for it”.

Neither
place
felt
safe.
