Rendezvous
Virginia Salter

they come each afternoon
dressed in plumage fine
coquettishly they take up their whims

softened eyes and gentle smiles
camouflage their joyous wiles
as each reveals her secret, sisterly

a tender heart for braunish lad
or lips that seek what nature has
so succulent an offer to their way

dreaming of his eboned eyes
heeding ears toward her gentle sighs
promising the world and all the moon

beguilingly they spin their tease
parasols in tranquil breeze
pondering the beauty of true love

experiences they’ve never had
alluring and temptation clad
a giggle escapes ebullient glee

looking round, they say “Good-bye,”
affirming their return when sun is high
to chat among the roses after tea

Sounds delightful.  Kinda reminds me of Super Bowl Sunday, but less refined and without the tea......

This is so "southern" and I don't know why but I kept imagining birds at tea...shaking my head, I'd better get some coffee...

But truly nice visuals here, I was reminded of "To Kill A Mockingbird" when Scout served Tea...you captured it perfectly!

Thank you all for reading and responding, some interesting comments here, for certain, esp. LHB, heh heh heh. Of course you don't know what inspired this piece so any remark comes, understandably from your own world view.
