Scarlet's Web Part II

Brake lights disolve as the car speeds away
Scarlet on the curb in the sultry summer rain
Umbrella opens wide as a shield from the wet
looking for another customer she hasn't yet met.

She walked along the sidewalk in a seductive way
from one spot light untill the next night bright ray
shadows snored echoes of the rain's lone song
Scarlet felt a hand and knew something was wrong.

Pulling her backwards they slung her into the air
crashing into crates, trash-cans and boxes by stairs.
Two hands grabbed her and tore at her purse
extracted her bills and tossed it in the wet dirt.

Away walked a shadow with a cross for an earring.
"Stop! Please stop," Scarlet yelled, begged and plead.
Her tears mixed with rain as mascare run in trails
she began rising and crying as she noticed a broken nail

She addressed her skirt and picked up her purse
finger brushed her hair and figured it could be worse.
She walked to the road like a cat to the water's edge
no one was there so she started walking with dread.

A bright red car pulled up and honked its short horn.
"Hey baby, you working?" A man asked with a tigers roar.
Scarlet replied, "Money in hand and your my man."
The door opened and Scarlet was working once again.

love it when you tell stories through poetry... thus the Cherokee Rose series being in my favorites list...

it's something I'd never seen done before you did it...

and it is awesome... but i can't figure out how to make it work....YOU SURE CAN!!

Great Job as always Arty..

i like the story you are telling with this poem. i don't know if you're aiming for the more formal rhyme and metre scheme. if you are, you're getting closer. :) if you're not, then you might need to think about line breaks as this poem would work really well with slightly smoother reading.

my favourite line:

'shadows snored echoes of the rain's lone song'

Continuing the tale

Of the hazards involved

In the oldest profession - and bouncing back...
