Stewart Stafford
“In Amorous Creeping by Stewart Stafford

I scaled a trellis in randy pursuit,
A rose in teeth for my paramour,
A thorn lurking by a naked stem,
Palmy, engorged and prescient.

A pigeon said to douse my ardour,
A talkative fowl, plainly no pidgin,
Snorts for this priggish counsel,
Blind shoots, driving me upward.

A wriggling worm to her chamber,
Inside I crept as she lay sleeping,
Sweeping a spectral sheet off her,
To lay until the dawn chorus sings.
