Long Sundresses Poems

-For Melissa

She asked me how long does it take to heal
In what time allotment, exactly, will it take
For forgetfulness to become a reoccurrence
A blessing for the haunted
Memories that can be bleached off 
White sundresses put...

Cathy and I were fair feathered friends
two femme fatales with similar blends
lying on white beach, absorbing Sun rays
as our kids built sand...

Let me throw off this winter coat and put on my raincoat and galoshes;
I love your blue skies and even rain showers that clean...

My world is disappearing beneath this blanket of snow and cold,
As I sit here remembering times, before I began to grow old.
Times when every day meant a walk on the warm beach,
Never did I suspect...

First loves are hardest to get over
They stay with you till your last day
She helped me learn what love was
And her name was Katie Mae 

And when I was just a boy 
She helped me...

Way back then when I was ten, I recall the memories,
That year, summer was spent on grandpa's farm;
We woke up early on the farm to chicken melodies,
I had a horse called Razzle Dazzle, he sure...

And so the first rain pours down late one Autumn afternoon
Waiting for it in vain, its arrival is also a confirmation of many cold months ahead in the southern hemisphere
Another sunset of summer and sunrise...

Young and middle-aged ladies, who wear sundresses
when summer days sizzle, make the opposite sex notice 
how lovely and sexy their soft skin is;  curious guys,
of course, can't help staring at them...not once but twice!...

It's summertime and time to have some fun.  Put away my coats and boots and
find that box of flip flops, sundresses and shorts.  Oh, so many wonderful things
to do and to behold ....

October comes drifting with beautiful decay
the garden is fading and I must say goodbye
trees are removing their bright emerald gowns
but, oh so lovely are their rainbow cloaks
and soon the air is full of flying,...

HOT SUMMER DAY

hair’s fallen, wet.
clinging shirt with sweat.
shoe’s barely protect
my feet, from the pavement’s heat.

i climb aboard the bus, no
air conditioning, of course,
and head to the bustling city streets.
perspiration stains and inpatient glances
all shout, with...

How come I never looked like Hot Stuff in a sundress?

My figure is not what it used to be (it is hopeless)
It’s fallen down, spread out and looks...

Little Lulu, a cute little girl.
in her sundresses loved to just twirl.
Around she kept going,
pink underpants showing.
Her life would become one big “whirl.”

In grade school, she grew to be wild.
Upside down, in the playground, this...

Dates in the bookstore
Hiding behind shelves
Take me to a hotel
Where we both know how it'll end

Take me for a ride in the city
Windows down, the air's chilly
Your hand on my thigh, calling me pretty
Let's ride...

The long, languorous
days of summer
have arrived.
Good-bye sweat shirts,
long sleeves and jackets.
Hello shorts and tanks,
bathing suits,
and sundresses.
Bring on the
pool parties!
Break out the grills -
it's barbecue time!
Who wants to
go camping?
I do! I do!
Gather the tent
and sleeping bags.
Don't...

Vacation
Countdown
Anticipation

Enticing tropical suns
Dreamy azure skies
Caressing warm breezes

Vivacious toe polish
Skimpy sandals
Flimsy sundresses

Colorful cultures
Exotic architectures
Vibrant traditions
Festivals and feasts

Joy and laughter
Leisurely freedom
Lightheartedness
Childlike awe

Feverishly fanatic
Infatuated
Travel Bug
