Mrs Robinson

For Benjamin...

Mrs Robinson lurks in the night

for unsuspecting vital bites

her enticing glance could charm the pants

off even the most experienced romancer

she weaves the web til it suits her taste

painted in a sable brush with diamond studs

when she's through with you

you'll have aged a million years

yet her siren call will

have you begging for all the more

God knows Jesus can't help you now

This film when I first saw it at the cinema was one of my all time favourites and still is now. I must have seen it hundreds of times. God I fancied Elaine when I was 17.
I think I met her mother a few times over the years. She was one of my teachers at school.
This brings back so much Frieda.

So glad it did Ken, I find that's the best part of poetry when it transport you somewhere else in time and space. Thank you.

I like to think of her just the 'widow' haha thanks DCT!

[DCT ponderings]

[john alan willox]

she was a gorgeous woman - i can't believe dustin hoffman was ever that young - that leg over the chair was far better than sharon stones's uncrossed legs - and yes i am begging for more. Nice one Frieda

[Frieda P]

Ha I agree, so much more seductive....'Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?' Thanks you kindly for your visit and review john....

OH, what an evil woman! lol
She's insatiable, and will eat any man alive!...I must say, I admire her. ;)

You have captured a ravishing Mrs. Robinson working her magic. Penned to perfection!

I am charmed, not only by the music (classic), but also your bewitching depiction.
Scintillating indeed!~xoxo~:)

Howling at the moon!... your muse did a wonderful job of titillating your thoughts! ;))

[Frieda P]

Evil, bite your tongue missy, if she were a man, she'd be getting all sorts of accolades!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i just loved anne bancroft...

"and here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know"

but "jolting joe" has left and gone away...

and once she gets her talons in you...you're dead meet...just ask Benjamin...

the siren, the black widow...the older woman who gets what she wants, but in the end...is she really happy?

no, because she was just a tease at love, and the other ran away with the Elaine of his life.

nice ride this is. no pun intended.

jacob

[Frieda P]

Me too jacob, she's an amazing woman all around....

Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes

Thanks!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

oh crap, frieda!

those damn cupcakes have been in the pantry so long...i better check the "sell by" date.

and yes, i was so sad when she died...

[Rita L. Sev]

Love the topic, love the format, love the movie - love this poem!

when she's through with you
you'll have aged a million years

Always thought that, too... Great piece, Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Rita, heard the song, love the movie, and it holds some special meaning too, glad you enjoyed it!
