there was always a coming
and going of men
everyday was like christmas
she had an entourage of sorts
collecting men like
some women do dolls or vases
men of all shapes, ages
and stations in life

she looked beautiful always
men worshipped her for it
women hated her for it
she could hook an unsuspecting male
with a connecting glance
or slight brush of the hand

if you asked her
she'd say "nonsense,
sex is not the primary attraction"
she just liked to spend
time with men
but at night she dreamed
of being fiercely cold
and cutting things with scissors

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Faith, the ending was not in the least
expected....

but hugely dramatic.

Kudos, for skirting the edges, and staying
inside the fine line.

Whoa! I was thinking of a female relative of mine when I was growing up. To me she was the most beautiful woman in the world and she had the men dangling off her charm bracelet, but then I got to the last three lines and stopped and said to myself, I wonder if Aunt Tresa was like that. Could be, she was sure everything else you wrote. Loved this poem.
