THE CHARM WOMAN

I was taken by your shapely figure
Like a bird caught in its nest victimized
your beauty baffles me thereabout
for your eyes blink like shooting stars

your feminine stature has made me tall
I now set my sights beyond moderation
tasting love in the thin air is now a waste of energy
my anticipation to love is broken

looking upon you feels hopeless as I desire
truly you're already set for political champions
I can never dent my intention just for a spoonful of your happy hour of expression

let this love cage till my better time comes
your beauty ambition is dangerous to me
I'm now declining from looking at your back
my life would be save if I turn off my eyes

dear Jack,

in this line: I was nabbed in your shapely figure (try: I was taken by your shapely figure)
line #2 like (a) bird
this line: for your eyes blink(s) like shooting stars (take the "s" off of blinks so it reads: (blink)
this line: your feminine stature has made me to giraffe (change to this: your feminine stature has made me tall)
S2 L2: I now set my sights beyond moderation
tasting love in the thin air is now (a) waste of energy
my anticipation to love is (cracked )remove. replace with (broken)
gazing at you is just like hugging empty space (try: looking upon you feels hopeless)

everything I have proposed is just suggestions, it is your poem and your decision.
*hugs, Cat

I love your thoughts...

You can make me envision that woman walking down the street and help her entice and capture my soul!
If you listen to what Cat says, you will make this a fine poem! ~ Geez.

A nice piece

I am liking your work here,

I've only a small suggestion. Make the first stanza a three liner

I was taken by your shapely figure
Like a bird caught in its nest victimized
your beauty baffles me thereabout for your eyes blink like shooting stars.

IMHO, this would make the piece's form more appealing to the reader. Besides that the lengthened line is powerful.

Heart felt thanks

Ray, what is IMHO?
And which line should be removed entirely?

I appreciate your reading.
