Lucilla Carrillo Poet Free verse

Red Hats

Come on ladies; lets get ready. Take out
the red shoes - bring out your red purse
and put on your purple dress.

Don't forget your makeup. put on your red 
hats - lets all go out and paint the town red.
There is lots to do, so don't be blue. It's red
hat time so don't be shy.

Life is short, so lets have fun - with our red 
hats on. I got my red hat with a purple ribbon
and purple flowers too.

I got my red shoes, my red purse and my purple 
dress. When I put them on - people know that I 
got class...

Andrea Dietrich December 1, 2012 at 8:22 AM I wish I could say I were not working next year. Would love to just stay home writing every day!! YOur poem brings to my mind all those forwards I used to get about getting older and wearing purple. The sign of the rebel and the independent spirit. I already am this way so I wear any color I please. Great poem, sweetie. I sure like my red shoes and my purple dresses.

Richard Lamoureux December 1, 2012 at 7:35 AM I like your style Lucilla! You seem like a fun person and style as well, good for you.

Anne-Lise Andresen December 1, 2012 at 7:12 AM My mother made almost all our clothes as children. - My sister always got blue clothes and I red .... I would also have blue .... As an adult, I almost never use the red shoes or clothes. - Red is a nice color ... but I got too much .... lol. - Have fun !!!! - Like your poem Lucilla, you're a colorful lady (I think). - Wish you a nice and relaxed weekend. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
