A Courtesan's Rebuke
To abide
Thou priggish,
"Better late
Than never"Attitude!
Not the wine,
Nor the food.
Not the music,
Nor thy countenanceCan turn my head.
Perhaps another time.
But tonight
My favors
Belong to.......
Another.

I love this picture that illustrates your emotive work which in itself has so many different stories,
A powerful stand by the persona! ZLove the word "priggish"!
ah yes- the "other" ....well done!
Oh Rel... you romantic!
You really took us into that painting at that world..wonderful..I am hearing lutes! Jae
Elegant..really telling it like it is!
As always, you never disappoint.
Love this one and the pic.
That told him! Love it.
Brilliant period piece! Amazing how your ear has so deftly picked up the era. It sounds exactly right for what I imagine the 17th century to be. I love the protagonist's attitude and of course the title, "A Courtesan's Rebuke." Good job!
Loving this one, Rel! Caught the feel of the scene fabulously!
I like your take on this too. Made me smile and yes, i love the word priggish as well.
The other! For he (or she) that sits dimly in the shade is often the light in the darkness.
Short, sweet and superb!
