The Sundress

Take me to summer of dress that is cool, sensual, and demure.
Having such memories, takes me into a realm where I was immature.
Evenings that awoke me with views of such softness, nothing obscure.


Soft wispy movements that turn all gentlemen’s heads to watch closely,
Undeniably noticing the curves that have inspired many creations,
Now, from out of our past creativity flows from silhouettes seen freely.
Daring but ever so subtle this dress, worn in leisure along in vacations,
Reveling the season it was designed and named after in natural grace.
Each time I see this attire, many emotions flow upon mind and face.
Summer warmth and subtle winds allow this to be worn at any place.
Secures power of sun, for our ladies, each dignifies femininities case.

You have written a delightful entry for Constance's contest, Cecil. Men appear to admire the sundresses so much. I just wish they looked good on me. My back and arms are so muscular from all the acrobat. I had to take a humorous approach to this contest because I don't look good in sundresses. Maybe that's one reason I can't find a guy. Sigh... Wishing you success with this delightful poem! Love, Carolyn
