Unremarkable

IG said this is a poem...I trust her implicitly and she has my wallet.

Unremarkable

And he crept from beyond the shadows

Where the cruel things 

Twisted in their nature

Homely in their wares

Waited an eternity for just one kiss

And in comparison to him

They were the fair princesses

They were the creamy naked thighs

He was ugly....no....unremarkable

Well there you have it, I have officially worn out my welcome.

"They were the creamy naked thighs"

That line sort of stopped me in my tracks and I am so fixated on that I can't think of anything else. That is not an unremarkable line.

[Chris Shaw]

Yep for the rest of the evening the thighs are with me :))

OMG Cee, the benadryl is kicking in...I had to read they were the creamy naked thighs ...like three times....and then had to start all over because I had drifted away to wonder about your thigh and shoe fetish:)

Looking for love in all the wrong places, I suppose.
Ed got it right.
Sunflower did not.
The author is a competent wordsmith.

I feel that this is about sexual molestation of a youth by a close family member..I hope that it is not or if it is that it is just a write on the topic...Sunflower

A slightly surreal poem, yes it is.. (yes, can be 'slightly' surreal?) .. anyway, love the way this swings thoughts side to side, neither this nor that .. and the final line makes thought even more thoughtful.

Not without the trademark sexuality of its author, but not without the depth and mind-tickling that usually comes with such a package. I really like how it subtly portrays both sides with a sense of realism and balance: "..cruel things twisted in their nature.." compared with "the fair princesses.." and "the creamy naked thighs.." (Mr Rowley's copywritten phraseology)...but "he was ugly..."
To me this is the proverbial 'slugs and snails and puppy-dogs' tails' against 'sugar and spice and all things nice'...and the 'Sleeping Beauty' with a modern cynicism of under-valuation in terms of what a man is to a woman. But then perhaps some relationships thrive better with this attitude of respect for the opposite sex.
Interesting stuff. As per normal, even in only a few short lines, this writer's inescapable tendency to say a whole lot more than is immediately apparent never lets us down.
