Just a little idea that's been playing about in my mind for a while. I googled the definition of a femme fatale and I could liken it to Connie quite a lot xD
So here you are I guess; it's not great ( I think I'm getting the flu or something, I feel rubbish) and the last stanza is my probably the best out of them all, but if you like it I was thinking about making it into edits for tumblr? Let me know what you think! -Sophie x
femme fatale
[ ˌfam fəˈtɑːl ]
NOUN
an attractive and seductive woman, especially one who will ultimately cause distress to a man who becomes involved with her
Beauchamp is a name with a story,
A certain "je ne sais quoi" it seems,
That strikes fear into the hearts of many around her,
And is often the crusher of dreams.
...
Now this beloved character,
With hair like a chocolate river,
And a gaze that can melt or freeze ice in the blink of an eye
Is not everybody's forgiver.
...
She brings danger and heartbreak to the men
Who deem to associate themselves with her,
And her juxtaposed qualities that have become her image,
Do anything but deter them.
...
Strachan is another figure
Whose name to which we can relate,
In this story of our seductive lady
Who all too soon realised she was "late".
...
True to her nature she brought with her trouble,
Through means of a sprightly young girl
Whose personality matched hers so she was whisked away,
Before her true colours began to unfurl.
...
Just like all of her kind before them,
The enticing woman lured her men,
Into a trap that could surely destroy
Any evidence of them.
...
But her plan ended up scuppered,
Foiled by her own kind;
Or so she thought, they would all surely live,
When all she needed was time.
...
Because the crash brought heat to a fire,
Of suspense and terror and fear,
And claimed the life of an unsuspecting victim;
Dear Jeff who stood too near.
...
But despite all this and her wicked ways,
We've come to love the "effet de mal",
That comes with the character of Connie Beauchamp;
Our beloved femme fatale.
