Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Only Dyed

I dyed my hair red
now he’s dying for me
the flames leaping
no shame
no shame
he is wide-eyed
puppy-tailed
i’ll lead him by the leash
release him
release me
can you see us
on the front cover
of a trashy romance
i dyed my hair red
oh the flames
be flying
I’m swatting him away
the grays no-mattering
it’s a crying shame
we must grow old
oh the boldness
the brave
we’re not dead yet
only dyed
tied up for kindling
a novel kind of love
it burns
s h a m e l e s s l y
hot

Robert Gorelick July 1, 2022 at 4:49 PM This poem is in the groove. I'm just dying to move; the red head is not dead--just resting in bed. Groovy verse. Kim Rodrigues July 2, 2022 at 4:20 AM Cool! Thanks, Robert :)

Demetrios Trifiatis July 1, 2022 at 8:17 AM How a delightful poem it is, I think we all should dye whatever hair we have in order to live in harmony with one another, dearest Kim. Blessings! Kim Rodrigues July 1, 2022 at 9:54 AM Thank you, Demetrios! Blessings to you, sweet poet!

Joseph P. DiMino June 30, 2022 at 9:27 PM I have no hair on top left...so I let my beard keep getting longer -- hmm, a red, viking beard. Now that has appeal. "it’s a crying shame we must grow old oh the boldness the brave we’re not dead yet"-- You said it! Brava! Kim Rodrigues July 1, 2022 at 9:55 AM Love it…dye it red…a Viking beard!
