Premium Member“Coffy” and my girl: Foxy Brown

Pam Grier is a whole lotta lady
where the cutting takes the cake
and the diva takes her mother share

Baby, my gun is trimmed in gold
And I don’t need two bullets
to hit it straight

See ya sweetheart!
I got miles to burn
before the next motel!

Premium MemberIsland Girl

We met in the Philippine’s tropical glow 
Those days feeling like dreams drifting soft and free 
Your laughter in the air made the whole world slow 
The time shaping a path meant for you and me 
You crossed to the states with a hope we could grow 
A beautiful life built by distant decree 
Fifteen years have shown love will never depart 
Beautiful island girl is home for my heart

Premium MemberBanquo'd

(a dating tale - told in Senryus)

She stayed the night, but
left before having coffee 
- that was a bad sign.

He was charming but
negligible - an easy 
habit to give up.

He watched her typing
bubble appear and vanish
there was his answer

His date-dar was bad,
she’d left-swiped him in real life,
ghosted like Banquo
.
.
A song for this:
Waiting for Kenny by a Sécurité
.
.
Banquo = One of Shakespeare's many ghosts.

Premium MemberA Girl with a Thousand Watt Smile POTD

Into my silent world, stepped in a little girl I chanced to meet her in my usual haunt. As I sat away from the crowd on a park bench, Saw her feeding some pigeons right in front. It must be her usual habit, I guessed. From her awkward movements, I knew, She was blind and had difficulty in moving around. But the birds circled round, as some grains she threw. Though she couldn’t see the wonders of life, A radiant smile lingered on her sentient face. As a bird flew down and landed on her right hand, She smiled a 1000 Watts smile with an innocent grace.

Premium MemberDevilina the Pumpkin Head Girl

what is that coming down the lane?
She has a large head, is it made of grain?
As she saunters into sight, she has an evil look
Oh no! It is Devilina from meadow Bad Brook!

We all begin screaming and run back to our mothers
Trick-or-treating is out, says our cousin Warm Druthers
He is the biggest chicken, has been all his life.
Shut up! We tell him. Devilina will probably become your wife.


Premium MemberCutesy Petootsie Halloween Girl

Cutesy Petootsie Halloween girl with a baby crow
lived down in the bowels of Texas, near Mexico
They had a good life, baby crow and She
Lived in an Airstream with two couches and a TV

A generous grandmother had left her an endowment
She was asked how she got her money where ever she went
It was such a rude question, she did not answer it at all.
Stared them down until they felt silly and small.

Premium MemberLoveliness in bloom

Dear darling in ballerina training.
You're learning to be graceful and divine.
Your whole life lies ahead.

Premium MemberScarlett O'Hara

Scarlett O'Hara had everything, including handsome Rhett
yet was selfish and about as mean as one girl could get
Did life get even, we 'll just have to pretend
She rolled down the road on her hoop skirt and is gone with the wind.
From the book, "Gone with the Wind," by Margaret Mitchell

Premium MemberThe Girl Who Wanted a Hippopotamus for Christmas

Kay wanted a hippopotamus 
     for Christmas,
nothing else would do,
     her family bore the witness.

She did not want a fancy doll 
     or a fuzzy teddy bear,
She did not want a frilly dress 
     or sparkles for her hair. 

Santa crossed the isthmus 
     with water on both sides,
he found the mighty river horse* 
     and shrank it down in size.

Santa made his run 
     on snowy Christmas Eve,
Placed the beast below the tree 
     and turned around to leave. 

Little Kay was standing there 
     wiping sleep away,
She hugged pink hippo very tight and knew 
     her life would once again be gay**


* "hippopotamus" comes from Greek words meaning "river horse". 
**”gay” meaning “lighthearted and carefree”.

Premium MemberA Small Town Girl

I recommend a small town girl as your neighbor
If you get sick, she will clean your house
I am speaking about grown small town girls – women

She will also wash your car, mow your lawn,
feed and walk your dog, bring you homemade pies,
mend your clothes and clean your refrigerator

Women who were raised in a small town cannot help it.
They want to please everyone, and feel you are all related
I highly recommend a small-town girl for your neighbor

Premium MemberBorrowed Words from a Girl in Green Gables

Isn't it nice to think
that tomorrow is a new day
with no mistakes in it yet?
A new day with zero debts
and zero regrets.
Like a clean sheet of paper
untouched by ink..
nothing to shy away from,
nothing to rethink.

But...if I give you a clean sheet,
what will you write?
Will it be poetry? Will it be prose?
It could be fiction or fact, I suppose.
Will there be flights of fantasy...
or will it be rooted in reality?

If mistakes are made,
whether for good or ill, well...
when life gives you raspberries
make raspberry cordial!

Premium MemberLittle Girl

Just a little girl with brown hair and brown eyes. 
She used to spin around, dressed up in her tutu and crown, back when life seemed easy. 
Little brown-eyed girl, still waiting to be set free from all the weight she carried. 
That little girl, growing with each passing moment, letting the magical experiences become memories. 
Letting herself become free of the past that once drained her.

Premium MemberWhen Boy Meets Girl

So much can change so quickly in a life.
Love is the path, not a destination…
When feelings become thoughts of “man and wife,”
It takes blood and tears, and perspiration.

We think this might be where we’ll always be,
As peaks and valleys make us whine and groan.
The road ahead is truly hard to see
But hardships lighten when you’re not alone.

We long for love to last eternally
With someone who will set our hearts a-whirl.
We fear a life alone is destiny
And pray that girl meets boy and boy meets girl.

It’s true, love alters your entire world
When girl meets boy and boy, at last, meets girl.
