NOVEMBER’S CHILD

 

November’s child

Loves to run wild

Is full of fire

Chasing desire

 

On oysters dines

Drinks the best wine

All to beguile

Enjoys your smile

This poem is from ‘The T. Collection – A Retrospective’:

Thatcher Woods Revisited/Sylvan Nymph Initiation

 

Dry crunch of

Kaleidoscope

Leaves beneath

Our stumbling feet

We sauntered through

 

Thatcher Woods

Taking in deep

Crisp, brisk, bracing

Autumn flavored

Atmosphere

 

My hands held back

Against a tree

Mouth-open, red-hot

Scarlet kisses

Floated past my

 

Neck landing onto

Crimson red lips

Fallen jacket

Buffer for our

Descent onto

 

Nature’s golden 

Forest pallet

Sylvan Nymph

Initiation

Commenced forthwith

 

Refastening

Jeans just in time

In the distance

Children’s laughter

Invading our

 

Sanctuary

As you, sacred love,

Gently brushed away

Leaves captured within

My long, wind-blown hair
