some dames ain't easy
(artwork delivered by lilsouthernbelle)
say she’s beautiful, & add quick, that beautiful women
are always dangerous…
she sits there in her barefoot allure & funny hat, armed
with her cockiness & harlot eyes. & her antique pistol is
still deadly, bored & stroked to fit a woman’s hand. she
keeps it holstered in her garter belt.
when you saw her in the cabaret, you thought she stepped
out of a fairy tale, or a classic movie. Alice, maybe, or
Dorothy, all grown up into a full-blown woman. sexiness,
drama, & the audacity of old Hollywood glamour.
but Oz never had streets paved with blood, where little
girls learned to steal from the corner bakery or starve to
death. her cunning earned her a degree in survival & a
back seat on the Greyhound outa town.
she has long since acquired the tastes of a big girl: steak
dinners & cold beer, diamonds, pearls, glad rags with
fancy Italian labels. the men who can afford it, they track
her like the sables of Venus.
when you’ve had her in your bed, you’ll know that sex was
created for man, but it was delivered to its highest threshold
of glory in the body & mind of a woman. just remember she’s
a carnival ride, buy your ticket, take a crazy spin on her carousel,
& go home. careless men lingered, & she laid them in their graves.
she keeps a candle burning in her penthouse window
for jokers like you. it’s a haven of gunfire romance,
craquelure hearts, & stories like this…

This is a great one for jokers like me. I love women who pack some firepower, although they don't really need it to keep me in line. Sex may or not come with a price but it's always worth it. I see "her cunning earned her a degree in survival & a back seat on the Greyhound outa town." Maybe she'll send me a card. I really enjoy your hardboiled sensibility, John. And you know how to handle dames.

Ah, sir! I truly love how you portray women in different ways. Different perspectives for a girl who had barely seen the world. What woman will I turn out to be, I wonder? As interesting and riveting as your dames, I hope. :)

at the end of each of your stories, i find myself saying "this is my new favourite"... then you post another of your compelling pieces and i'm floored again.
you're a hell of a writer, Mister Feddeler.

Pic perfect words u painted of the dangerous adventurous not-so-easy catch of her beauty. The way you boil down to her attitude n character, the story telling n setting as usual to ur pieces, juz makes one adore. Loved the intensity u had given to her aspects. Tq JF:)
