Miss clitheroe

MISS CLITHEROE

by Robert Davidson

And They Thought She Had Missed Out On Love.

They called her an old maid
Said Maud never had the chance to test her virtue
Said she was like a pressed flower in a book.
But little did they know -
You just didn't boast about it when she was young.

As she moved in the garden
She touched a crocus - its little golden phallus pressing the air
And allowed her mind to flicker
Amongst the tufts and wands of plants in the garden -
And that red curved thorn on the rose bush.

Suddenly there were images ... alternating in the dancing sunlight
The past popping up in embarrassing guise
Often with landslides of emotion.
'Did you sleep with him?' she heard them ask.
'Well, you have to when there's a war on,' she had said.

And then there was that Senator
Had a heart-attack whilst on the job
And died astride
Her dimpled milk-white knees.

Often she would find herself
Giving way to her inner nature after a few brandies
When naked as the monlight
She would wrestle with a young man in the garden
In an inferno of love.

One doesn't last forever, she had always thought
And I'm not as young as I was
And knew a spasm of relief she was still desirable.

And as she grew older
Lust continued in fantasy and dream
Dreams of flesh to be rubbed against flesh
And inserted into flesh.

And now as she sat alone in the garden
Little did they know
Her freckle-encrusted cleavage
Was bursting - bursting with unspoken love.

    You have a really intriguing writing style- it's like a hybrid of poem and monologue in a play. I loved the character! Your imagery lured me in more and more. I thought this was fabulous. Thanks for the read

    beautiful deserving of more trophies good luck in the contest and this is my favorite part
    As she moved in the garden
    She touched a crocus - its little golden phallus pressing the air
    And allowed her mind to flicker
    Amongst the tufts and wands of plants in the garden -
    And that red curved thorn on the rose bush.
