After the rain
After the rain last night, the soil is grey;
But that is no excuse, this girl must crawl
Across the beds; the seedlings on display
Won't be the only ones to show their all:
There is a rose that is no rose, it's furled
For now, at least, within the underwear
That fingers soon will tug, until they're curled
Within the petals of that flower; I dare
To flick the moisture on the seedlings round
My twisting form; with skirt up round my waist,
There is a chance that seedlings end up drowned;
And opportunity to feel disgrace
Is warming both my cheeks: a blush is right
When soil is grey and it has rained all night.
But that is no excuse, this girl must crawl

Won't be the only ones to show their all:
There is a rose that is no rose, it's furled
For now, at least, within the underwear
That fingers soon will tug, until they're curled
Within the petals of that flower; I dare
To flick the moisture on the seedlings round
My twisting form; with skirt up round my waist,
There is a chance that seedlings end up drowned;
And opportunity to feel disgrace
Is warming both my cheeks: a blush is right
When soil is grey and it has rained all night.

I love the way you've used nature imagery combined with what I interpreted was a sexually submissive role. It's a good poem and very effective. X

Thank you for your kind comments - submission can come naturally rather than being enforced - the setting helps that sometimes.

Oh yes I can see what you mean, using the setting to suggest something. Very clever! X
