Classic Love

Rain sweeps reckless, outside wind does roar
scattering debris on water soaked lawn;
in beam of streetlight the rain does pour
from midnight till the break of dawn,
until swollen black cloud is gone.

He flung open the door to modest abode
as rain swept daring outside the door;
he looked to be like a drenched tree toad
walking in puddles across my floor,
flinging his hat and coat that he wore.

His face burned with summer now dripping wet
with water drizzling down his taut cheek;
his brow beaded up like fiery sweat
with soaked shirt showing off his physique,
he appeared so young and sheik.

In his doused brawny arms I purposely fell
his lips dripping wet and wedged apart;
he had me under his brash seductive spell
before I knew what was in my heart,
I was his Bacall, he my sexy Bogart.

I love the way you fell into his "doused brawny arms," Caryl. Truly he had invoked a seductive spell. Very cool reference to Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart. Those old movies sure make us swoon, don't they? Today's films have lost some of the romance. Wishing you success in Francine's contest with this awesome quintain! Love, Carolyn

A second comment for your worthy poem. It sounds more like Love on a lark (I wrote a scintillating poem with this title) than a traditional, romantic fling! However, it was infatuating and enthralling!

A romantic interlude on a rainy afternoon! You appealingly and artfully described this impromptu daliance!
