Best Miniskirts Poems

WOMEN ...

Truly amaze me ... they possess the super-human
strength to birth a child - one of the most painful
and demanding physical and emotional feats of end-
urance known to our species - yet they have the
self-confidence to be meek and tender, with the
gentle and sweet fortitude...

Let's All Drink to Lockdown 
by Jan Beaumont ©

I'm normally a social girl
I love to meet my mates
But lately with the virus here
We can't go out the gates.

You see, we are the 'oldies' now
We need to stay inside
If they haven't seen us for a while
They'll...

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?


Mascara pink lipstick ribbons and curls
Miniskirts no matter what the weather
We were teens two cheerful giggling schoolgirls
Enjoying bits of time spent together

A yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
We followed all the radio top hits
All night writing clandestine poetry
Spilling young hearts out...

There ain’t no two ways about it man, 
it just has to be because of you.

Before you came along we could do, 
about anything we wanted to.

Man, life was great, life was great, before, 
you came along and ruined it all.

There’s Haight-Ashbury’s summer of love,...

Let's Hear It

Growing up a teen in the 60s
A Baby boomer baby I'm known
High school was like stepping into another world
Of fun sports to join, watch, and stir
Class spirit Homecoming football games
Proms with the big white mums glittering on chiffon dresses
Basketball, volleyball, track, and cheerleading
With...

A swinging sixties chick was I dressed head to toe in Biba
Miniskirts my mother loathed and free love too, so I was told
Music of choice was Motown and Soul that played upon my radio
At weekends tuned to Saturday Club a programme never missed
Radio Luxembourg each...

Didn't know the man,
a man she called my father.
In the hot, humid summer,
sounds of Cicada and smell of Pines,
polyester miniskirts, the summer of sixty-nine.

Didn't know the man,
a man she called my father.
They came from seas of wheat,
great fields of green,
two young lovers from the heartland.

Didn't...

This is the closest that I have ever been to  a funeral for more than forty years, a young boy just eighteen was shot dead for stealing
I sat quietly on the school veranda and watch the hearse drive into the yard and parked on...

What fear absorb the world when much of the story is untold, what fear absorb the world when the miracle is yet to unfold. The secret ballot is already unleashed and the people began to cross the street, the doors are open wide and symphony...

Put me to sleep
A very deep sleep
Without these dreams that are full of promises
Promises that are never fulfilled
The dreams that give hope for the future
And pose a risk to the unpleasant present
Those that make you feel like dreaming on
Wishing for a future that only lives...

I heard that you are coming, and I am ready for the meeting
I heard that you are coming, and here I am anxiously waiting 
The last time I heard that you were coming
My heart leaps and my spirit began to grow 
The last time they...

Love in Kyiv
by Natalka Bilotserkivets
translation by Michael R. Burch

Love is more terrible in Kyiv
than spectacular Venetian passions,
than butterflies morphing into bright tapers–
winged caterpillars bursting aflame!

Here spring has lit the chestnuts, like candles,
and we have cheap lipstick’s fruity taste,
the daring innocence of miniskirts,
and all these ill-cut...

It is a unanimous decision
Shirley is not at our faculty meeting.
We appoint her “in charge” of spirit day – Wednesday! 
Watch out! Her teaching partner cautions us,
but she does not offer to do it.
Neither do the other twenty-six people there.
Thus, we are wearing go-go boots,...

Las Vegas, Reno, the Hoover Dam, the casinos, the resale shops!
Screech.....they have resale shops in Vegas? Only the best in the world.
They are filled with rhinestone boots, hats, bras, handkerchiefs, zippers.
I know this because I have spent years in these shops –not consecutively

My daughter lived...

My neighbor,
Your wife is tempting me,
Your wife wants me to sin,
Your wife wants me to miss heaven.

My neighbor,
Your wife wears tight miniskirts,
She puts on dresses that reveal her body,
I am not made of metal, I am human.

My neighbor,
Yesterday she wore a crop top with no...
