She's Not Afraid Tonight Poem by Professor Plum

She's Not Afraid Tonight

Rating: 5.0


with the fuzzy edges of her floating
down to the smooth riverside boulders
with all those pebbles in her pockets
drifting without bizarre hesitation

not quite a zombie but a shivered
poem because Ouse water must have
been excruciatingly cold indeed
he promised to look away from her

pantaloons on top of the soon dark
current wafting like some cotton lava

Also called Great Ouse. a river in E England, flowing NE to the Wash.160 miles (260 km) long.2. a river in NE England, in Yorkshire, flowing SE to the Humber.57 miles (92 km) long. am i correct? :) i would (perhaps) have enjoyed viewing her fuzzy edges [i think YOU have some also, Professor], .......and her wafting pantaloons. to MyPoemList.
