Lady Ravenscroft
Lady Ravenscroft
Traces the baseball diamond
With size five feet.
She sits down
On the pitchers mound
Writing poetry
And daydreaming of
sweat on the field
and your dirty uniform
thrown across
clean blue sheets.
Passers by smile weakly at
Lady Ravenscroft
Unknowing of her fantasies.
She disguises her name
Weaving poetic
faltered
poetic lines
And sends it to be read.
She titles it:
READ THIS POEM ALOUD IN BED.
