The hook

Because I am what I am.

And I do what I do.

I leave hooks in the water,  for people like you.

My bait is different,  a curiosity you see.

I fish the bottom waters also.

That is where I knew you would be.

I put it out there,  this is true.

Everything about me you already knew.

While I play with your women.

And have them freely,  as my toy.

You bit the hook also.

Bringing me levels of joy.

And your secret I will keep,  if I can.

I do not want "our" women to know.

I can also please their man.

I read this as a slam poem so for that I would have changed 'Bringing me levels of joy' to 'You wanted that joy'. But others are seeing it as a poem championing sexual diversity which just goes to show that there are at least two ways to read the poem, probably more. ?

An interesting poem which deals with sexuality as experienced by a few. This aspect of life has been well portrayed, if not humourously so in this poem, but opens a box on which the lid is forever firmly closed.

A poem dealt with in such a manner so as to provoke thought into a realm seldom explored or known by most. Well composed.

Thank you for this

Keith
