Stroking

.

        Thus sat I
 athwart her boarding
 as the train’s whistle 
         bellowed

         I panting
stroking mine beard in
       anticipation
   mine pen and slip
           excited 
     to cast each her
        chary glints
             when
            CRACK
     back mine head
       mine consort
      her ring baring
           jealous

I wondered how tame you would be with a title like that James, you kept on the shy side but delivered a message that made me smile. Always a treat to read your gems! Love, Elizabeth
