Ensnared

Enticing coyly,
words cloying, oily,
teasing, easing,
sleazily seizing,
trickles of tickly tricking,
trapping
with sugary wrapping,
sweetly lulling,
senses dulling,
sedating
– conscience
unconscious
of guile,
dozing,
losing
awareness
of danger,
and unfairness:
shake up!
wake up!

I really like the structure here, the slow reeling in and the jolt at the end.

Hi Rhiannonw!
The word play is excellent. Not only does the rhythm catch you. the hook at the end does as well.
There yie are.

Wonderful play on words /
Wonderful play on words / with sounds that gradually morph throughout until the end, ensnared, indeed.

Hi Rhiannon
Hi Rhiannon
I really enjoyed the way you played with the words. And the sentiment with the sweet item enticing one is very true in my experience.
