Her skirt pulled up only slightly
the river cold, icy
toes dipped in rippling waters
cooled off on a summer day
She hitched only to her knees
never beyond, taut modesty
a gentleman would not approve
a lady acting inappropriately
Stepping across mossy stones
showing more now than her knees
blushing from her own allure
wary of feet, unsure
She bent to sip the water
the taste strange like salt
made an unfamiliar tongue
yet she wiped her lips decorously
Eyes looking both directions
she cares not of her dress
cupping hands of water
she holds them to her breast
Drops that trickle slowly
feeling wayward without shame
delighting in the pleasure
unknowingly lighting flames
The afternoon is closing
skies darken in her wee nook
tip-toes across mossy stones
back on land, returning to her book
Few pages are but read
chill in the air now bites
gathering her belongings
pleasured, home to end the night
Though this is my entry – I wouldn’t feel comfortable with myself if I didn’t give credit to
RoS – ruleofstupid
Susan Daniels and Stephen Kellogg along with RoS have been so supportive, giving of their time, their advise, their critiques on what I write. I am truly thankful for their encouragement since I began my Poetic Journey.
