Leather Jacket

Leather jacket draped over her shoulders My feeble attempt at gallantry Protecting sweet maiden from the cold A small smile spreads over her face My feeble attempt at gallantry Still I longed for the rain to reveal her breasts A small smile spreads over her face The rain would have soaked her blouse Still I longed for the rain to reveal her breasts The fabric clinging to those lovely curves The rain would have soaked her blouse We ran together my hand around her waist The fabric clinging to those lovely curves I could feel her softness my heart pounding We ran together my hand around her waist Coming to rest under an old oak tree I could feel her softness my heart pounding She allowed my hands to explore Coming to rest under an old oak tree Lips joined as my jacket fell to the ground She allowed my hands to explore My feeble attempt at Gallantry Created the moment that brought me here A small smile spreads over her face I broke the Pantoum form with the very last line but I prefer it this way. Besides, my hands were already engaged. Leather Jacket on Shoulders Contest

Thanks Connie, I kind of like this one myself. Mind you I have other poems I enter and they don't make it on the list so you never can tell what will catch the judges eye.

Richard you could have won this with a "I don't know" form! The only thing bad about it is NOW I have to go take a cold shower! Damn Boy!

It looks like your attempt at gallantry was a solid one. Koodos to you for the imagery and brilliant use of repetition.

... my feeble attempt at gallantry. I really, really liked this line! It's like an average joe putting on the face of a noble knight. And as far as the rules go, the story wouldn't have made much sense in the end (if you kept to them anyway). That's the tricky part, methinks. Enjoyed this one very much!

Ooh-la-la, de man be bewitched by dem honkers. lol @ your ending. After reading this I'm tempted to invite a man out when I know it will rain - without a jacket, of course (hahaha). Ooo, the mean in me!! Lovely fun yet serious write with much depth, Richard. I like, very much. Licia :-)
