James Peranteau Poet Free verse

My Milkmaid

.


  I took her by her fine
       callused hand

I lead her to the stream
    fifty yards below

     I undressed her
 and not with my eyes

     with each digit

  Her gestured poise
  I wanted intensely

  I did beseech her
              to
           bathe

Carolyn Devonshire June 17, 2009 at 2:59 PM Your romantic nature shines in this write, James! There is a scene in Robin Hood where Marion is watching a naked Robin shower under a waterfall. The look on her face is probably much like the look on mine while reading this -- intrigue and desire! Great poetry! Love, Carolyn
