Cheap Date Poem by L. K. Thayer

Cheap Date

Rating: 5.0


wasted youth on
being wasted
tasting the lips of liars
with checkered pasts

playing the game
not playing the game
being game
taming
the shrew

I liked to shop
hunting for bargains
hunting for game
game over

he was no bargain
what is the price
you'll pay?
at what cost?

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I think any woman who's been involved in a few relationships can related to every word in this poem, powerful, it evokes a lot of emotion. I adored 'tasting the lips of liars with checkered pasts.'
