Pink Lotus – Villanelle
by Jerry Pat Bolton
Sunday, November 22, 2009
Rated "G" by the Author.

There is a new game in this town,

Makes my fedora tighten up,

Pink Lotus kills without a frown.

The Wise Guys are being brought down,

Nowhere to shoot back, they're afraid,

There is a new game in this town.

Pink Lotus; Mafia hit clown,

But there is nobody laughing,

Pink Lotus kills without a frown.

Ram Slade heard a dame wore the crown,

Taking out the competition,

There is a new game in this town.

Someone said she wore a silk gown,

It was red, dipped deep 'tween her breasts,

Pink Lotus kills without a frown.

She kills with smiles, they all fall down,

Who is the mysterious dame,

There is a new game in this town.

Ram thinks he knows the lady's name,

Bet his fedora she's the one,

There is a new game in this town.

Pink Lotus kills without a frown.

You are dangling us into the unknown here, Jerry. You make me wonder where this is all going, what will come next. The character is set, now what will she do??? Mysterious offering.
Take care,
Sherry

Ram's about to tangle with the Pink Lotus huh? He has no doubt learned in his detecting biz that just because it's BEAUTIFUL doesn't mean it's not dangerous! Great villanelle Jerry.

...tightens more than my fedora, Jerry,...quite a lass. When does she open up and take me in to her soft bud centre?
Like it!

Vividly imaged, this brings a shudder to the reader, in hoping not to meet these characters you portray ... just who have you been hanging around with, Jerry? LOL Well done, once again.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Pink lotus is most dangerous to anyone's path she crosses, huh?

Be always safe,
