Blue Dress
Put your blue dress on
and let your hair down too-
your hair that is so beautiful
you need no fancy “do.”
That gown a royal blue -
you know the one I mean!
The sequins on its bodice
make you glitter like a queen.
The backless part of it -
a large X made of lace
exquisitely reveals
your shoulders’ white bare grace.
I’ve bought for you a bracelet
of diamonds for your wrist.
Wear it too; it’s fashioned
of bright stars heaven-kissed!
I’ll wait out in the car
while you don your blue chiffon,
afraid I’ll want to take it off
once you have got it on!
