One never knows the history of the stranger in the dark. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read,

Comment from Acquired Taste
Oh, Persephone called...you left behind your Viagra.
Very good use of imagery. Rhyming was more to my liking than some others.
A excellent offering that will be difficult for a riposte, but am sure there will be efforts to do so.
Very good Rogue! AT=/

Maybe he only needed it with her. ;-)
Thanks so much, AT. As always, I appreciate it.

Might be so - I hear she looks like hell.....
Comment from Donya Quijote
So sad to see your hen harem leave the table unfulfilled and starving for more. I'm sure this little ditty will set some feathers flying. Like the inclusion of Hades and Persephone, they work together and then again there's more to that story, after all didn't he seduce her? Interesting use of tenderloin as a verb. Inventive, creative. Tone of this one is quite a bit different, more tongue and cheek, comical. You aren't cutting the ladies a break are you or has a stray arrow from Cupid's bow tempered you just a wee bit?
Fun read....

Thank you so much, Donya! Yes, the story of the two is very broad, so this is just a little sliver for the fun of it. The tone can change from week to week, but in the end I really do like to go tongue-in-cheek and more comedic, but with a hint of the truth of the character. In the end, it's all satire. :-) David
Comment from Just2Write
Sic' em.
Hades was such a creep to his poor niece Persephone whom he abducted and deflowered.
But then again after this indignity, Persephone was also a victim of incest from her father Zeus, with whom she had 2 children.
Loved this week's instalment, David.
You do so well with this format. I especially like your ability to add the internal rhyme between the lines.
Lots of humour, too. A fun way to pass the day.
Rose.

Thank you so much, my friend. Poor Persephone got it at both ends, so to speak. ;-) As always, Rose, I really appreciate your wonderful review and insight.
Comment from tfawcus
You devil, you! Now all their roastings come to naught! I can see that the more the fires heat up in these little exchanges, the happier you will be. It is entertaining to have a little meat on the BBQ on this day so often reserved for fish!

What a great and humorous review, Tony, and I thank you for the smile and the excellent and kind words, my friend. We're having a great time...well, I am, anyway, and those whom I enjoy are, too, I believe.
Comment from Gloria ....
Aw, this is so cute and I love the Loverboy tune it brought to my mind -- "Lady of the Eighties". Thank the Lawd that you booted me out of the barnyard before it got really hot in there.
And, finally we get the big reveal, well, the little reveal before the big reveal. Yay!
I very much enjoyed your retorting to the sister hens, dear friend.

Thanks so much, my friend! I haven't thought about that song in years!!! Perhaps the rogue should don red leather pants like Mike Reno did before he started porking out. :-)
You're always welcome in the barnyard, or the barn, Gloria. :-)
Comment from billscott

It seems you are on the top of your game.

Comment from Righteous Riter
Good use of the aabb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with mark/park. Good description and alliteration. Good rhythm and flow. Good simile use with like a blind Persephone. The lady really going to be after you after they ready this one. Good luck my brother and thanks for sharing.

Comment from padumachitta
It?s only fair to tell you that the man you vilify
Is only there to sell you till he knows you?ll kill to buy,
So know that he?s adaptive, then it?s easier to see
That you?re his mindless captive, like a blind Persephone.
You go get 'em rogue. AH, thanky goodness for this amidst all the sappy. crappy, chocolates and balloons. This is a hallmark holiday for me...I love my partner but, I refuse to be intimidated by red hearts...ah the Rogue, a breath of sanity...

Thanks so much, my friend. I wanted to provide a poem for the lovers AND the haters today. As always, I really appreciate your great review(s).
Comment from paulah60
Oh dear. Roguest Thesaurass, masquerading as a mythologist are we? Really?! Thomeone is thlipping! You haven't pulled the wool over this chickie's eyes because when a well-hung dude takes on a well-read maiden, guess who's going to come out on top?! ;-)
May I remind you, m'lord, that even though Hades swallowed up Persephone, he didn't take into account that he would to deal with her enraged, ball-breaking (earth) MOTHER, Demeter. And here's another little bit of information that may have thlipped your weary mind. When Demeter lost hope of ever finding Persephone, it was the inimitable dirty obscene goddess, Baubo, who pulled her our of her funk and gave her the impetus to save her daughter! FYI, Baubo is MY muse!!! (with nipples for eyes and female genitalia for a mouth, geez, how the hell can you take her seriously?! LOL)
Here, my dear friend, is MY Valentine's Day gift to you ? those three little words that every maiden here longs to say to you: NICE TRY BUDDY!!! But being the warm, loving, generous person I am, I'd like to personalise it: LM(_X_)OFF (this is my new signature).
Again, David, an uber clever write, taking all our ploys and using them against us, or at least trying to (you forgot to lisp, although I notice a few bits of elision here and there).
Cheers
Paula

Thank you, my dear, for your attempt to turn the story against me, but you forget that the rogue is a master of disguise and a chameleon, so by the time we get around to your hopeful ending, the rogue is already another persona, so your pussy posse is much too late to nab him. ;-) (I do love that story, by the way, and I can see why you do love Baubo).
The elisions I hate, to correct you, are when people change the appearance of the word, not that they use them. So many words can be 2 or 3 syllables, so we all use them. It's when they're visually manipulated that I don't like it.
Anyway, great fun, my friend...and wait till you learn the persona the rogue has taken for next week. You're too late for Hades, baby!!! ;-)
Have a great weekend, and Happy Valentine's Day, my friend (from David)

Now WHY would you do that? Spell out EXACTLY what you detest! Oh yes, I see what you're doing. Trying to throw us off the scent BY spelling it out. You are good dear rogue, but not that good.
(I thought elision included things like 'you're' etc. So I guess it's something more like 'stutt'ring' that gets your back up, hmm?!)
Can't wait to see him unveil yet another persona next week. But I'm sifting through this response as we speak for a little more ammo ;-)
And Happy Valentine's Day to you (from Paula)

I'd be disappointed if you didn't dumpster dive for more, my love. :-0 Love getting down and dirty with you and the other saucy Aussie, aka the Winsome Twins.

Works for me and P. We'll meet you down there. What a happy threesome LOL!
