Lady Bradbury’s Excursion (Free verse) by Dovina
(or Whiffs from a Dark Journey) Alone again on grassy path To vital refuge on rainy night Latched inside a tiny shack Bushy skirt pressed left and right Petticoats, underdress, overdress raised Bloomers first lowered Now drawers, is that all? The word I want is “empowered” Nothing to see but lacy cloth All fluffed around from waist to head Lower parts lower ever so slowly Wood donut on hindquarters dread Perched silently upon the black pit Gentle tinkles like soft mountain brook Breeze of flowers, a scent to imagine Jealous, but quiet, contained in this nook.

Up the ladder: Cool In The Army
Down the ladder: The Breathing Dead

Very clever and humorous. Original for sure. A nine
in my opinion.

If I change "Dark Journey" to "Angelically Dark Journey," would you make it a ten?

Actually, "Whiffs" is perfect. Excursion, indeed:)

I'm lucky. With my ruffles over my head, I stand to tinkle and make the wood donut even more dreadful on future other's hindquarters.

You have taken the mundane and transformed it
into art. About as original as any poem I have
read in a long time. It takes a "leak" where it
has never gone before and somehow does so in good
taste. Womderful!

I never would have thought to write a poem about taking a leak, but you've started my gears turning. I found this poem very amusing.

Not too amusing, please.

Doughnut, dear. "Donut" is the brand name.
