"THE UPCOMING NIGHT"



THE UPCOMING NIGHT
{Dori Wheeler © 21sept09}

Sitting in her robe this beautiful  night
trying to pick out the most lovely rose
thoughts of him giving her complete delight
her dad in the other room, he softly crows

"Be careful my darling daughter tonight
men can be such scoundrels with half a chance
please do not dress in attire that's too tight
be sure his hands can be seen at the dance"

"Oh my darling dad, you worry too much 
I may be beautiful, and not a slouch
but I know about men and how they touch
he'll not get me alone on the couch"

These her words as she continues to dress
memories of the last encounter they had
loving his roaming hands she must confess
 she wants to look alluring, he is no cad

Her mind wanders of the upcoming night
hoping so much that it turns out just right!

I really like this piece; Im not sure if its because I can relate to it so much or for the simple fact that it really brings me back... Either one it may be, this is a beautiful piece!

tells a story, I write poems like this too, but I was a little perplex because of the tone of the language or grammar from reading it, but other than that it's a great poem.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
