A ‘Magnetic Poem’ tanka

smooth operator
she is cool, hot, alluring
rockin' out with style
confident and impressive
lady believes her power
Notes
- This is the 2nd time that I made use of the ‘Mustache Set’ on the Magnetic Poetry website;
- I deliberately chose this set because this poem was written for International Women’s Day 2021;
- I wanted to write a poem about a confident woman with a set of words designed to describe confident men;
- #ChooseToChallenge #IWD2021;
- I deliberately chose this set because this poem was written for International Women’s Day 2021;
- I again opted for a tanka, rather than a haiku;
- I’ve really been in a tanka groove recently;
- I found the featured image after writing the poem; it did not inspire the poem.

I like how you’ve given a positive spin to that term. (K)
I’m just glad I could make this poem work without giving its heroine a mustache ๐
I was just reading an article about drag kings…
I was worried for some reason when I saw the image before the poem, plus the first two lines… but YEAH! this rocks David. ๐ค

Very nicely done, David.
Thanks so much, Dolly โค
You are very welcome, David.
A good poem for a good occasion David, with a set much at odds with the intent, but you managed it so well.
Thanks, Deb. It struck me as a somewhat ironic challenge for the day. ๐
Awesomely done tribute. Itโs rocking good. Cool ๐ thank you for writing this poem.

Thank you for contributing to #IWD2021! I love that you chose words normally used to describe men and used them to describe a confident woman. Of course, Iโve never heard a man described a โalluringโ but who knows…
I think perhaps the mustache could be alluring (from the perspective of the magnet set). Or – a smile (smile is also a word in that set).
A smile and an honest pair of eyes can certainly be, but we donโt tend to use that word to refer to men do we? Itโs interesting!
True. True.
A lovely magtan (magnetic tanka) ๐คญ๐คญ๐โค๏ธ๐
