As you read the poem, enjoy the song that inspired the image, which, in turn, inspired the words.
Midnight madness
In glorious gladness
A beautiful sight
Dancing in the moonlight
Femme fatale
An electrified gal
With sparking fingertips
She’ll draw you in with her hips
Causing your heart to bust
Filling your groin with lust
Her raven hair flowing
Ruby kisses blowing
Watch her long legs moving
Seductively grooving
Prancing in the fire’s glow
Moving fast, then slow
She’s the devil’s lover
She’ll take no other
Hear her crazy laughter
It’ll drive you insane after
You see her fly
High
In the sky
Catching the moon in her eyes
Rocking your nighttime
Loving her is a crime
People are always talking
About you stalking
The Moonlit Witch
Who can make you itch
With the Lover’s Curse
Just by dipping into her purse
So heed this warning and beware
I mean to give you a scare
Hoping you will heed
So that I may also be freed
From the enchantment
Of her advancements

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

This poem has a fantastic, intoxicating energy, like a wild dance under the moon. "Femme fatale / An electrified gal / With sparking "fingertips"—the imagery is vivid and instantly captivating. The rhythm and rhyme create a spellbinding effect, perfectly matching the witchy theme.🌞🩶🤎

Oh wow this draws you right in! The way you wrote it was so well done, excellently crafted. I think your choice in words really latches on to the reader. Fact or fiction you tagged it? I think fact! This one draws you in, just like you said!
This has got Motown written all over it, Sharon!! And I had Morticia on the brain when I saw that pic!
