Mandy Tams The Golden Girl Poet Light Verse

Letting My Hair Down

~Letting My Hair Down~

Feel the paper slightly rough between my fingers
Play with the corner before I turn devour the words thoughts do linger 
Sometimes romance - sometimes to learn.

Bubbles popping around my neckline
Steam rising high, perspiration falling
Flicking pages this time is mine-there are no voices calling.

Stretch the full length and feel free not tied
No need to watch the clock
Minutes pass - but my time I bide, this time is mine no one will knock.

I feel clean, complete, renewed
A new vigour, clean body, clean mind.
Time to get out and stop the kids at feud, time to get back to the daily grind…
