Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Wallpaper

Pale and pasty, my face.
Disappearing into stripes - regaling no stance.
Gone - no trace.

Red hair…freckles.
Please, won’t someone ask me to dance?
…heckles.

Heart’s weak…
Is there no chance?!
Speak!

Pale and pasty, my face.
Please, won’t someone ask me to dance?
Speak!

Caren Krutsinger April 12, 2022 at 10:33 PM I thought every man ran toward red hair and freckles. " Red hair…freckles. Please, won’t someone ask me to dance? …heckles." this is why I dye my hair burgandy because I have the freckles. Kim Rodrigues April 13, 2022 at 4:32 AM You go with burgundy…I go with cinnamon :)

Gershon Wolf April 9, 2022 at 11:26 PM Aw, this speaks to my youth, and that of my sisters. We are/were all redheads with freckles -- and very much wallflowers. thanks, gw Kim Rodrigues April 10, 2022 at 6:19 AM Aww! I was the shy one.

Michelle Faulkner April 9, 2022 at 10:13 AM I think red hair and freckles sound so cute, who could resist that? I hope you enjoy several dances, Kim~ Kim Rodrigues April 9, 2022 at 11:33 AM Everyone should be celebrated!

Jeff Kyser April 9, 2022 at 9:12 AM You do these well! Save the zero time one - it was very good Kim Rodrigues April 9, 2022 at 2:19 PM Thank you, Jeff! Jeff Kyser April 9, 2022 at 9:24 AM Yeah, I saw that, didn't say anything right off, then, when I came back to mention, saw someone else did. The other may not be a "minichu", but it was a mini-masterpiece, IMHO. I read no fear into it, just a neat idea of a countdown to "click". Kim Rodrigues April 9, 2022 at 9:22 AM At least this one is correct. I didn’t realize the final lines were repeated lines.
