Beautiful complimentary photo that compliments the piece well. Nice descriptive words that bring the photo to life. Good alliteration and assonance with entice/engage...single/smile. Good simile usage with like a mask in place. I think the writer does a good job with this piece.

I like this poem, the illustration is eye-catching and seems to have the same mysterious and alluring quality as the poem, the theme of the poem is clear, but I like the uniqueness of the writing style and the ending, it has a mysterious effect, enjoyed that effect and the whole poem.

A knowing smile ( rake and courtesan). A smile of conquest,the meeting place left behind? Or a smile of a future tryst. Or is it just a simple smile? Or really a statement on masks.

Geez, take me away someone, I've fallen for the picture. God help him, he's lost it. A most fitting picture to go with your piece. All in all, the fact that the picture, your choice of words, the flow, the pictures you create, the use of the free verse style that does give you a greater scope in your piece,They all gel into a complete oneness of simplistic beauty. I really enjoyed this read....MIKE.

They provide a special service at a special price.
What tickles your fancy? Have your money ready and they can take anyone there.
The smiles, the predefined look and conversation and even the glint in the eyes are all there to entertain and lighten anyone who seek their services.
Any way we look at them, sometimes the courtesan serves to make our dreams and fantasies come true and may not be entirely sexual in nature thought they are defined as prostitutes.
Great write and well penned on the oldest profession int eh world that no one wants to know about, smiles.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))

This is a lovely poem, beautifully and sensitively written with a subtle balance between the three stanzas. The exposition followed by the two personal stanzas, so delicately handled and then the lovely closing line. Great writing.

I love the philosophical concept of mask that you have chosen in your poetry here. Yes the words, are the masks memorised, practised, garbed, mixed with smiles that confirm or contradict our intentions when we converse with others. My first poem I wrote, here was also on 'Mask', and I love your take on it. I am not sure whether you take a positive or negative perspective. I have enjoyed it a a lot, Thanks.

I take from this sensual message a sense of pride of an alluring vixen who makes a habit of reeling in her subjects
for a bit of sexual pleasure and the object of her affection "leaves the encounter with a single smile."
