On Being Too Gentle

Neville

On Being Too Gentle

 

The extraordinary

gentleness

of his unexpected

advances ..

Though indeed

subtle, to say the

very least ..

Failed to take her

by surprise ..

Nor did they cause

her alarm ..

On the contrary

my dear friend ..

She, being

very well versed

in the art

of seduction herself

was both

thrilled and highly

delighted

to teach him the

very error, of his ways ..

      What were the details of the 'error'? Don't answer that, or I will swoon! Or at least, don't answer how she corrected the error. heehee.

              Sounds like this Dom is about to have a field day.
              Well written, it exposes her hidden talents without actually calling them out.
              "On Being Too Gentle," I think he at least had the spirit to engage.

                  I regret it wasn’t me, for had I in my youth, while being rejected - lessons learnt would have played an important role.
                  Just as I am learning how to scribe a lasting piece.

                  • Neville



                    I think you do just fine my friend .. and thank you for your encouraging comments and ongoing support ...... Neville

                    It sounds like you it just right, I'd call it the "Goldilocks Approach". Very, very clever my friend!

                      A fab poem on how men can be taught new ways and get surprised themselves instead of alarming. Sublime and subtle muse. Kudos!
