Clean Pair Of Knickers Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Clean Pair Of Knickers

Rating: 5.0


Not knowing
whether you would stay

(or not)

still you instinctively thrust
a clean pair of knickers

in your bag
as you left

in case of
accidently

Love finding you
out.

And true
to your intuition

Love
finds where

your heart
is hiding

& you stand there

a clean pair of knickers
clasped tightly in your hand.

Knickers. An old and honorable word, indeed. Read my poem Story Teller, for another take on knickers, but in mine they are called 'bloomers'. Enjoy! A Scots-Irish and Native American Redhead, Val

Although not being a metaphor - simply 'a clean pair of knickers' it is used in a lovely poetical manner here :)
