While camping in the desert
Kethry woke in fright
Only to discover the
Wondrous desert night

The stars were glistening brightly
The moon an argent glow
Shining on the desert sand
for dwellers, here below

the scent of desert wildflowers
as they waved in gentle breeze
the glory of the desert
brought me up upon my knees

the night was softly warming
the breeze was heaven sent
and what does all this beauty mean
It mean's someone stole my tent.



"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

I admit I stole your tent,
I'll be back for the rest.
The next thing you'll be missing,
Is the hair upon your chest.

What?  You don't have any hair,
Upon your smooth and gentle swell?
Hmmppph, somebody's been there already.
I hope you gave him hell!

Neato poem, Ms Kethry.  I enjoyed the surprise ending.

psst, it's OK to have some hair,
Upon your lovely breasts.
But if you let it grow too long,
You'll soon have a varmit nest!

I thank everyone else, this is for Long John,

As a child I ate my crusts
the rest of it you guess
although I have the regular busts
I have hair upon my chest

I had some hair upon my chest
been there, done that if you please
I had to get them waxed because
the critters gave me fleas.

Local Rebel. Thanks and watch out I looking for victim material.

Victoria. Thank you so much

Balladeer, I knew you'd appreciate the poem's
in-tent-city.

LM Whatever gave you the idea the ending would be conventional. At least this poem's not cute.
