Romance Explored

Romance Explored is a collection of poems dealing with contemporary love and romance. See if this little sample does it for you: Yes I was a foolListening to his patterIt was too smoothThis patina of burnished steelThe man could have seduced Anything, anyone and anytimeAnd he didMe and a dozen others besidesIncluding the guy down at the hardware storeI should have known his wolfish waysHe had eyes that would strayBut when he turned his gaze my wayI melted and practically squirmedIn my chair at the fancy restaurantAnd he knew all the wines and stuffI was pleased; I was chuffedI had never known a man like himEven if I was worried aboutThe pale band of untanned skinOn his third fingerI was the ingenueIt can t be deniedHungry for what A little town could offerA girl from the sticks,Everywhere he went he caused a stirI mean, how many men out hereWear Italian suits and know how to flirt(extracted from The Wolf in Him )
