I met you over coffee
as I fell from neutrality
I’m partial now;
to you with cardamom
to thighs, your curvatures
and the not so subtle way
you frown at me.
I will not squander
it’s time to act
to polish up my resume
and bend for you; propose.
Seraphic angel — you
please come and tickle me
and lift your petticoat.
What did you just call me?
Pervert?
I’m a poet! Bitch!
Flirtation by Miklos Barabas
Linked to Mindlovemisery’s Wordle. Hope it sounds more humorous than creepy.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Well done and great job, even if it’s been some time, but you’ve played the words well – the piece sounds off gently, softly, but with some anticipation and excitement building – so the ending? LOL – quite the surprise! And I adored the lines:
I’m partial now;
to you with cardamom
to thighs, your curvatures
brilliant use of a taste!
really well played – I like the subtly of the hints that it’s really not reciprocated – the frown, etc. Truly, well crafted Björn!
thanks for playing this week’s wordle 🙂
You are hot today, Bjorn! Damn. Whatever’s got you in this mood, keep hitting it.
Oh, to go where the prompt doth lead…
Head over heels…or rather in this case – not so much 😉
I wonder if the era of the painting, the gent would have used a different term of endearment… Though ‘You Tease’ doesn’t quite have the same ring. 😉
hahahaha!!!! Oh! my the ending and everything else. hahahaha!!! Bjorn! You are on a roll today. 🙂
Love the ending Bjorn, and you stick to that assessment I say….lol
geez, Bjorn…..I was really into it, and the ending snatched me back. LOL!
Haha! Priceless!
A poet and a pervert. Is that how they remembered us by?

I think if we whisper seductive words at the moment we will probably be more perverts than poets.
This is freaking delicious! especially the end, and the falling “from neutrality” (yum!). I will carry this poem around all day, and laugh happily/
ha ha ha the ending lines must have enthralled her!!
Hahaha❤️ I absolutely LOVE that closing 😀 Beautifully executed!
Lol…it made me spit my coffee out…brilliant.
Sorry… I should have a label on my writing where coffee drinking should be avoided while reading.
I love the cardamom line …another poem where you stretch your talent even further! Love it.
Haha great last few lines, contrast very well to the rest of the written in a poetic way, while the end is well pure prose and slang at that!
You made me chuckle with this one, Bjorn! The language and the image are so out of sync, especially:
‘please come and tickle me
and lift your petticoat’
and
‘Pervert?
I’m a poet! Bitch!’
Like Marley said, “you ARE hot today
much love…
oh! can’t the poet just cut out the last stanza? dang
Ha… the poet got a slap in the face
well, on paper, he could revise/rewrite…make it right
Love the ending….. Mere mortals will not understand your poetic flirtation because you could say ‘lifting your petticoat’ was a metaphor . Good one!
poetic license is is one thing
a licentious poet is something rather different
namaste

Both funny and creepy…ha ha…nice!!
Ha! Clearly two frames of reference operating in two not-on-the-same-page-at-all heads.
