The Bather

A sonnet by Jania Williams

Beyond the Summer buttercups she plays

Then upon crystal river gently floats

Unknowing lure for lustful beasts that prey

Alas her beauty chokes their foolish throats

Though fierce and strong her predators may be

The willowy fair maid shows no alarm

Instead provides a spectacle to see

And rises from the water bold and calm

She plays along, the maid with raven hair

Scans for their react as she emerges

Exposing with delight her skin so bare

While to extremes their red hot blood it surges

The unsuspecting beasts must then retreat

Into the river to relieve the heat
