A Darling August

Black trousers

Green coat

She won’t be going home alone tonight

Right?

Wrong

She’s a he and he is buzzing

A busy bee

A regular hive of industry

A true blue assed fly in the ointment

He’s making an appointment with destiny

A testimony to his enduring artistic bent

Primitive colours mordant blending

Bending the light to her words

Spending the night inside her mind

Blind with nowhere to hide

Escaping as he so often does

To his feminine side

Augusta wrote such a variety of poetry,some extremely beautiful and touching. I always wondered what she would come up with next.
Would really like to see her revisit WOL xx

Good stuff.. If you hadn't said otherwise - it could have almost being took as closure under that name which I felt would have being a shame..

on the piece in question, I love 'A true blue assed fly in the ointment'...

Hope to see you soon!

Thank you Isobel,
I shall remind you about my alpha male requirements when next we meet. Yes I miss Augusta and would very much like her to re-visit WOL... she really wasn't an echo of Male fantasy... she tried to be a proper girl ... she certainly not under the patio and I have no doubt she will apear from time to time...

Once again many thanks for your great comment as usual.

I should have made some comment on the poetry I guess. I like all the internal rhyming - when the last word and the first word of the next rhyme, I always think it adds to the flow - and this definitely flows...

Good on ya Gus - every man should have a feminine side - it might improve him somewhat!

I must say though - Augusta's inner thoughts did often sound like the fantasy of a very Alpha Male... xx
