Peroxide Amusement

 

 

 

exploitive blonde

a rampage of feelings extracted

a tarnished color

a sky imperative

in clouding my eyes

The title is great and in just a few lines there are no boundaries. So many thoughts with this one.

Thank you, duff, for your kind words.

If your imperative is to exploit my mind and tarnish my eyes, you've succeeded! I've had a few conversations about ambiguity lately. Needed some, so here I come.

the ambiguity of relationships....usually cleared up but not only with a good theme.

I am enjoying tis poetic journey. Sensing that one can graduate from blonde jokes and move on to blonde verse. jks. The depth of observation is something well worth looking into. Thanks for sharing. Frederick.

Gee
It seems that natural beauty is now not good enough for most women, instead false lashes, nails, b***s, along with veneers, botox seem to be their idea of beauty. Hmmmm, how wrong they are.
Hope you are well Jacob

I can see her now. A bleached blonde strutting into a room and every man noticing....some negatively. So much to read into these few lines, Jacob. Lydi***

I've always been partial to redheads myself. The blonde bombshells got nothing on the nitroglycerin. (laughing) I enjoyed this Jacob. Nicely penned. F.

This little piece reminds me of my Dad. He liked women to look natural. Disliked anything fake. He loathed hair dye and nail varnish. He would have completely disapproved of nail bars and fake nails. I love that word tarnished. Such a strong word. He would have approved of it. I travelled far with this piece of brevity J.

Dear Jacob, I felt obliged to return the favor and share some thoughts (& feelings) on your writing:
So much expression in so little words. Your words avail very 'much' in your case. Particularly the last two lines are strong & intriguing. I've always loved your way with words.
This is chemistry, emotion, picturesque in a modern style. Imperial.
Thanks for sharing this expressive read, V.
