Kim Rodrigues Poet Tail-rhyme

Polka Dots

Her dressy-dress with polka dots.
As boys count them they get the hots.
They stop at thighs.

Swirl of those pert little circles,
higher and higher encircles.
Fever does rise.

Like a quiz, eyes fill in the dots.
One by one the boys take a shot.
They birth their lies.

Each competitive archer, shoots
For the center, as the prize hoots —
Her laugh not shy.

Those little pearls of color red
and her dressy-dress knocks them dead,
as lost boys sigh.

Except for one boy whose hatching
a plot — he’s wearing a matching
polka dot tie.
