Jax Blog #11 – A Taste Of Seduction

Hello Folks,

Back in the late 1980's and early 1990's I was a member in good standing with the Conejo Valley Poetry Society. We had a lot of really great poets involved, with meetings every couple of weeks and a general poetry reading once a month in the coffee shop of the old Border's Book Store in the Thousand Oaks Mall. Much of my poetry was written with them. We'd get together to display our new writings for a class critique and hopefully improve our technique. I always thought there was value in that, even though I might not always agree with the comments.

A Taste Of Seduction is the result of my enjoyment of the writings of my friend David Alan Foster. His humor and alliterative style always made me smile, if not laugh. So I wrote this as a kind of tribute to Mr. Foster and his work. 

A Taste Of Seduction

Thought I'd go out
For a taste of seduction
With some passion on the side
Guilt and regret I'd forget
In that doggie bag, to go
On further reflection
Illicit love
Though on the menu
I can't quite digest
Other rich dishes 
Like half baked sex
And steamy affaires
Are out of my budget
Better I stay home
Than become some fast fool

Short and simple. There'll be a few more along the way.
Take care. Stay safe and well.

Cheers,
