A Scarlett Rose: Divided Together

A Scarlett Rose:
Chapter 4~

"Divided together"

Blue skies and gray clouds
molding and mixing together
whipping winds in hurried waves
lazy summer of hot Dixie days.

Scarlet hair waved in swaying flow
through the town shops, She'd go,
non-shilant in her steady pose
dressed in delight, a Scarlett Rose.

"Miss Scarlett," Sergeant Sylvester delighted.
Scarlett turned slightly acting frighten ... "Oh."
Hugs exchanged in gusts of glee
ushered into the shadows so not to be seen.

"The Yankees have taken over the town
what in Gods name are you doing around ..."
Kissing pressed to quiet her lips
"...here?" she blurted, hands on her hips.

"I had to see you, us Reb's are hidden down river,"
Miss Scarlett felt uneasy and began to shiver.
"Don't come to town tomorrow...okay?"
Sergeant Sylvester hoped she'd obey.

"Miss Scarlett? Is that you?"
asked a voice from out of the blue.
Turning to see who called her name
her heart beat twice the same.

"Captain Doodle," Scarlett proclaimed,
looking back to see Sylvester had scrammed.
"How are you?" She asked in a hurried haste.
The Captain captured her around her waste.

"Where are you going ...
who were you talking to?"
asked the Captain, dressed in uniform blue
tightly gripping eyes focussed new.

"If you were a woman, you'd not need to ask,"
Scarlett jerked free, grin, reaching pulling sash,
bare legs glare adjusting her garter in the road,
sexy southern silk, the leg of Miss Scarlett rose.

"I apologize Miss Scarlett but there's been rumors
Reb's are about, I have to check everyone out."
The Captain said while gazing deeply up her leg
"That's alright Captain, I forgive, " Scarlett said.

A tipped hat and curtsy to bid a good day
each went their separate and divided ways
the imminent dangers that have arose
for a certain, Miss Scarlett Rose.
