Naked Reflections

Naked Reflections

No racked babe, but I've had no cut and paste!
Like young casabas up front and still 'kewl'!
F i n e 'Brick House' (...'more than a mouthful's a waste')!
**** compared to a 'forty-dollar mule'
With a swing exemplifying my rule!
Each lavender curve, smooth as South Sea Pearls
Enveloped by trellising golden curls.
Body and English, my lingoes in Lit.
And tough guys still stammer, week-kneed  like girls!

Mirror's the same ... reflection's changed a bit.

Belated personal congrats on such a great poem. Unique and witty entry and it was my hope that you better able to see how a tweak here and there can settle the dust, so to speak, and make you fall in love with your words all over again. Hugs, chum. I plan to read and comment tonight. But I am seriously wiped out.
