No Contest

No contest.

He desires, demands her;

the taste of her.

Irritation, anger,

cajoling, lies,

theft

for the lust for her.

Then

tender, adoring

once he’s felt the lady’s

sly, venomous kiss

at the crook of his arm.

This lady,

she ain’t no lady.

This lady,

she’s selfish and cruel.

Takes his mind and strength,

his heart and balls.

This lady,

she takes his soul.

I hate her,

this White Lady.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

Ah, I knew the white lady well until 16 years ago,

14th February, 1994. It's given Valentines day a strange flavour ever since. I twigged who she was at- sly, venomous kiss at the crook of his arm. Powerful write, left me trembling a bit, some memories die hard, no matter how best forgotten. Timely too. Am still making amends to the real people in my life I hurt at that time. Cheers, Jess, “A poet’s work; to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world and stop it going to sleep” Salman Rushdie

Yes I liked it in a way!!!!

Ann of Norway Dear judyanne, This is not a world I know about at all, but I do understand the venomous woman/heroin and its connotations and as such it screams its song in silent fury, your poem does that. Yes I 'liked' it as a poem but the subject I do not-of course! "theft for the lust for her.............wonder if? This could be without the FOR? I don't know why but that was me! Not sure what you meant by the Antipodean in this context as answer to Ephriam, are you just being 'arty'? Not comfortable here among the addicted so must look at something else. But you are not being Antepodian here or are you? Love to you from annanya.

thank you annanya we aussies are antipodians - we are on the other side of the globe to England and walk on out heads obviously therefore my nose and my toes must be where the poem says xxx in answer to eph's stinky feet etc. love judyanne

Oh is THAT it?

Ann of Norway And I wrote this about it.- There will always be a debate about art and that is healthy, but to take stances based on the realism or classic qualities of expression is no better than doing the same thing in poetry, hindering the experimentation that leads to yet greater art maybe? Freeing the mind to see differently this world so full of human norms and statements that degrade any slight straying from the norms of the age. I suppose one could see this as being upside down thinking?????? "The Antipodeans were a group of Australian modern artists who asserted the importance of figurative art" WIK. So now you see why was a puzzled!! annanya
