A debutante so alluring
Making an appearance
Susceptible to wild trivia
But unflinching by nature
Obliquely not connecting
Engaging rather shyly
Under extreme provocation
Where have the good guys gone?
Oblivious of hungry looks
Advancing cautiously
Amidst prying eyes
Stepping gingerly forward
With a come hither stance
Gliding with guarded precision
A lady for the offering
Sensuously intense
But where have all the good guys gone?

beautiful
ReplyDeleteand unfortunately the good guys are right under her nose
often overlooked
Hank! I've been wondering that for some time now .... great write!
ReplyDeleteit may take a little while to find them...but i think there are still a few out there....
ReplyDeleteThey better step forward fast before the wolves pounce....
ReplyDeleteWhere have all the good guys gone? They've gone where all the flowers have gone...
ReplyDeleteThe good guys are there- just be patient
ReplyDeleteThey are sure hard to find, but I hear they are out there, along with the mythical good women haha
ReplyDeleteI know one or two.
ReplyDeleteA lovely companion verse for the image.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful verse. Showing how shy she is with beauty and only wanting deserving love.
ReplyDeleteWhat a question, but she's at the beginning of the search. Who wins on this see-saw? Very much like what you did here.
ReplyDeleteSuperb ... your poems are always so unique !!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent question, Hank...
ReplyDeleteAn excellent piece of work, Hank. (I don't know the answer but I think Lyn has it right - she's only at the beginning of the search.)
ReplyDeleteI would love to know too! great write!
ReplyDeleteWhere have the good guys gone? Excellent question.
ReplyDeleteYou do make her sound very intriguing and alluring, cheers. Hank
ReplyDelete...the question makes her sound quite desperate...probably because good guys were already in extinction these days... i'm afraid we're only few Hank... Lol...enjoyed it...smiles...
