Hotel lives

She likes hotel suites,
with a mini bar
she never touches
and a trouser press
that defies logic.

She likes easygoing prints
and a voice at the
end of a telephone
who caters to all
her needs

and she has a few

like

her bed sheets positioned
the ends tucked in,
a quilt with no creases
and a chocolate mint
nicely cold


she likes bell boys
after midnight
who hold her shoes
and give her a towel
from the swim
she took

she leaves a nice tip
and a surreptitious smile
she feels beautiful
on her trips around the world,

she has her preferences
and a doorman
who always wears
white gloves

I love this! First class; the lady should travel that way. As for me, I can't stay away from the mini bar.

I agree with Dave and Josephus.
I like the decadent pleasures and elegance running through the whole but I see loneliness too.
In some ways she reminds me of TW's heroine in "The Roman Spring Of Mrs Stone " but hopefully your heroine has a better destiny.

How elegant. She is obviously a woman of great taste and refinement. Not to mention means. I get the sense that this person is an incarnate desire of a lifestyle many women would like.

Such a vivid description, I feel I can see the snap of her fingers and her backward glance. This flows effortlessly.

I've met one or two of these ladies in my travels. They are rare. You describe them to a "T" but I can tell you onee ther dimension to them; to a one, they are very lonely.
