Best Runway Poems

They elude me now ...words
Drinking befits a drowning man possessed
Swimming off this broken page
Baton winning in a relay race
I breached the ribbon sliced with chest
Joy! I gasped


Grown tired of my own riddles
Those halting jagged lines
Conversely I committed 
So disrespectful of my crimes
In dispatchment utter lunacy
Forgiveness...

Fall season is a favored time of year
when leaves irradiate their aurum cheer.

Custard colors cloak paths with brilliantine
while misty breezes tease the woods to sheen.

A couturière flouncing haute couture,
adorning the hillside with striped hachure.

Rich gemstones of ornate colors convey
an elegance to Her brilliant bouquet.

Wild winds...

    An insect, a bird, a bat, even a chicken can fly
        Why, oh why, can’t I, said young Master Tighe

    Oh, but surely you can, Master Tighe

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THE RUNWAY MODEL?
Have  a picnic on a perfectly picked Sunday
Have someone tell me I’m loved by a model on the runway
Look out my window and find trees made of gold
With leaves of diamonds for our eyes to behold

Play with a...

Stamp your feet 1-2-3
Stamp your feet 1-2-3
1-2-3 and stop!

Stop it I say, I say to the moans of the pounding core.

Stop the torture of your stamping, pounding directly to my hole.

Stop looking and stop the finding, for I am just here alone waiting for someone...

Hear the challenge; make a sketch.
Take a trip to Mood.
In the workroom, get a taste
Of someone’s attitude.

Drape your garment; start to stitch.
Wait for Tim’s advice.
Get those seams and zippers straight;
Sometimes sew them twice.

Fit your models; then consult
For make-up and for hair.
Race against the clock as...

I fell in love with an angel 
With glissading beauty 
With her heavenly love position
She did something to me
Bringing light to life
Being there for it all
My happiest moment
My saddest day
Even when we took our great fall
My angel has spread her wings
Beginning a new flight
With all...

Just ahead down the road a way
Queen Anne rides her florid carriage 
tossing lacy garments out the window 
frilly-white landing by the roadside

The carriage of course is pulled by mares
clicking their hooves like they were some 
courtesan's castanets and kicking their legs high, 
like line-dancers...

Broken brake
Praying like a believer
Arrival never

running down the aisle way, a-giggling
streams of paper white, a-streaming
an apocalyptic wriggle, shelves emptying
toddlers buy their wine and away their going
unexpected per-usuality of a pandemic outing
per chance my husband’s found this greeting
the sun has set on 2020, yet the panic’s continuing...

Run away plane
One hand 
In the window pane
Touch me
Run away plane 

A one way flight
You and I 
The distance between us
I told you I’d hold you
Don’t you run away plane

Why don’t you hug me 
Why don’t you reach for me 
Maybe there’s a breeze 
And...

THE RUNWAY

A sea of cars
Riding on my back
Abroad, intensified with speedy tires
Lubricant, passengers of thought

Bolded signs of ‘U’ turn
Too shabby to understand
On a straight road with
No roundabout

Only then, stirring to the wheels
Into a burning bush of no flames
Dumped in the garage of animal homes
Eat me...

We grew up in times when
Lean bodies had all the guys
Picture perfect bodies that were light
The perfect definition of a barbie doll 

That's why people envied models 
Cause the screens made them popular
And now having a few extra pounds was an eyesore
Everyone wanted to be...

blonde hair
over long sleeves
of a tie dye t-shirt -
she’s wheeled onto the plane;
cell phones of course; headphones of course;
green-knitting in force; red deck
in four pairs of hands - on floor, someone
will score; and our grandsons
take off with our love, hugs and hearts -
headed home,
speeding down...
