Anna Lee

Speak softly breeze
Of passion's moan
Over fields fresh plowed
In fertile loam
Of musky scent
And maiden grown

Stout was the tree
With vigor plied
To rend the valley
Of earthly pride
And sweet the deaths
Where passions vied

Damp the forest
So freshly rent
The seed lies planted
Passions spent
And tree once stout
Now lying bent

A maid she was
Sweet Anna Lee
A rose of love
Blooms heavenly
Her petals opened
Sweet ecstacy

Thanks Jayne

I appreciate it. I couldn't resist, I had to see if I could do something a bit similar and use simile and innuendo. Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

This is beautiful dear Rett

Ann of Norway "With passions spent........do you need WITH? And tree once stout.....The tree! Now lying bent" It was just here that I felt a tiny something. Maybe not next time I read it though! Loved its rhythm and its content very nicely done Rett, Love Ann.

This is a perfect example of

This is a perfect example of how you can speak on sex, deflowering a virgin and "passion spent" with a little bit of class. This would have been burned years ago as pornography! Of coarse all the more reason to love it. Now if the respect in this poem was lended to most of our youth in there "deflowering" I think the world would have much more class and taste. My opinion of coarse. I loved the idea of another Stanza by the way, BP so here is my suggestion. Glowing radiant, Anna lee was spent her bushel pollinated thorns left/now sated The Perfect marriage of a future's carriage his large grand tree with vibrant Anna lee ... HA HA HAA HEHEHHEHEH AHHAHAHHA OK, that was to fun! And took me alot longer than I thought it would, but worth it! But now I have to go cook dinner! I hope you know its almost impossible to copy your style, your so darned conservative with words and never have excess! But definatly well worth attempting. I learned, as usual. And had fun with your little PG porn, LOVED IT. So many could take the example and keep a little class and make use of the imagination! LOVED THIS PAW! Your Daughter. Julie D.D.
