She Thinks She's a Poet (GBE2 #49 Topic: Take Two: A Fresh Look)

The GBE2 topic for this week is pretty simple.  Take an old post that you were especially fond of and re-post it.  I wrote this poem for GBE2 #11.  The topic was Instinct.  I really liked it and I wanted to re-post it for anyone who may not have read it the first time around.  Enjoy!

Call of the Wild

Sullen girl

heading my way

carefully tread 

the lonely highway

up the stairs--pure confidence

all vanilla cake and troubled lighting

Impulsive girl

sky's the limit

silly girl

it's only minutes

skin and teeth

lips and limbs

joy plus sorrow 

mixed with sin

why keep jumping at the chance

when you aren't worth a public glance?

It doesn't stop her coming back

again

and 

again

for a nibble

a taste

for carnage and grace

a reassurance of vanity

a waste of valuable sanity

and yet

it's set

in stone

instinct.....

every time she heeds the call
