M. L. Kiser Poet Free verse

Titillating Twenties

Flirting flappers
Whipper snappers

Prohibitions
Big restrictions

Legs are showing
pearls are Swirling

Charleston’s harking
Lovers sparking

Dancing Lindy
With Miss Mindy

Jitterbugging
Afterwards hugging

Raccoon coats
Rowing boats

Bathtub gin
Fun never ends.

Caren Krutsinger April 4, 2019 at 2:56 PM The cadence of this never gets old. I found myself jitter-bugging! M. L. Kiser April 6, 2019 at 1:16 PM Oh good, because they're fun to write...there'll be more. Thanks.

Panagiota Romios April 3, 2019 at 11:18 AM A FAV. Love the music, clothes, glitz and glamour of those days. What glorious imagery! Panagiota M. L. Kiser April 4, 2019 at 4:56 AM They were stylish, weren't they? I have an old photo of one of my aunts dressed as a flapper in her teens. It's one of her best.
