Kim Merryman Poet Pleiades

Geisha

GEISHA

Genteel girls trained to charm
Gentlemen with their wit,
Graceful dancing and song.
Garbed in silk kimonos,
Garnished with exquisite
Gems and embroidery - 
Gracious teahouse hostess.

Andrea Dietrich February 10, 2017 at 8:13 PM GREAT one , Kim. It's nice you are doing them as well!! Kim Merryman February 13, 2017 at 1:25 PM Thank you, Andrea! I'm glad you like it. I like to do one in advance of the contest, to see how difficult it might be. I'm sure as I get down the alphabet there will be some I won't do.
