Wordle #25 words are:
courtesan
stillness deliquesce (melt)
neon enunciate palpitant (uneasy)
ironic peach
lingerie thigh scrutiny ache
Courtesan of old
Schooled in intricacies of love
Finesse in retaining their men
Of trained geisha girl measures
Men who literally deliquesce
Drooling in stillness of nights
With neon lights dimmed not
feeling palpitant in their midst
They were ever willing to
enunciate moves in
peach innocence
peach innocence
Not having to be garbed
in sexy lingerie nor having
to ostensibly expose
more of their thighs
Ironic that being civil not overly
crude in pushing their wares
brought less ache or scrutiny
to their profession
How well they maintained
their well-mannered
being
Very unlike present day
fakes cold and
scheming
who came on strong but
happy to leave their
men high and dry

ReplyDeleteI admit there is something so beautiful and intriguing about Geisha wonderfully done Hank!
ReplyDeleteluv the painting you coupled your exquite words with; have a nice Monday

So Truly spoken!!
ReplyDeleteHa. I read memories of a geisha.. and for sure scheming seem to have existed a long time.. but you use the words very well
ReplyDeleteThe courtesan of old certainly maintained her dignity, whereas today's call girls seldom have much self-worth.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done, Hank.
Luv, K
