PSEUDO

You’re a pseudo hero
a counterfeit lover
meagre soul undercover
the antagonist who enchants
in a mock romance.

You’re an apocryphal fool
playing the game of chance
fallacious in his charm.
delusive creature quick to abuse.
impassioned women are misused.

An imaginary Don Juan,
a bogus Casanova.
a quasi member of the human race,
you’re disgrace.

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

I salute anyone who breaks the rules in the interest of art and great poetry writing just as much as I admire poets who craft meter and verse within the confines of good grammar. Walk the tight rope or jump from it and see if you can fly.

shall draw the Thing as he sees It, for the God of Things as They are.'

Thank you. I'll correct that line.

I was privy to this one before you posted it and I have to say this one grows on you. The first time you sent it to me, it was ok, but i wasn't dragged into it. I have read it maybe ten times since that first read and it gets better with each read...it is fast becoming one of my favourites of yours.

I also know a little of what inspired this write and you have hooked it perfectly!

you ain't 'alf bad ya know!

There are way too many men like this, but I think there are a few that are not lol

Thank you for reading.

I love the language and the whole premise of the poem. I am familiar with such fake Don Juan's. Your poem summed it up perfectly.
