I was never one of those
“desirable” kinds.
Never will be.
And I’m okay with that.

But being 14 years old
Stuffing padding down my shirt
And smearing big sister’s makeup across my face

Just to get some 19 year old to...

How unappealing... the missus went bananas
courtesy hurling mandarin oranges.

Yes quite juvenile
unladylike childlike behaviour,
mine wife oft times doth display,
I do not deplore

yours truly reckons
tis futile effort causing furore
aye attest bull
in china shop incorrigible hardcore
exhibited by spouse

Before it’s too late

Distant bells clatter on cloud fed weathered skies where
darkness creeps past low light vestibules, faded beams flicker 
Short skirts wave in a winter wind, breezy attributes
revealing fishnet thighs calling to the next...

My ladylike mother, raising a blue-jeans daughter
     No dresses for my back-to-school shopping-
After school shortcut with Amy, my friend
     Grassy flowered path, trees and birds
For my autumn...

SHENIKA SIMS

jumping over puddles
doing carwheels in multiples of three
thinking of you can't you see

my heart medicinally skips beats so it seems
cannot wait to pack suitcases

Little Red Riding Hood was dressed in red leather
Went out on her motorbike whatever the weather

Every week she drove to see her sick grandma
She lived in the next village; it wasn’t that far

Little Red would...

I wanted to age graciously,
Serene, ladylike and wise,
But I get confused and muddled
And I've come to realise

Things happen to me,
That takes me by surprise
Everything unravels before
My fading eyes.

I cannot enter a room,
Without tripping at the...

Mary’s Head

Mary, a prominent socialite from the Berkshires
Being proper and polite 
Had a good head on her shoulders
In accordance with her stature in life
Invited guests would join her in the parlor
For afternoon delights
Fortnum’s tea and...

Or even to...

Dear dumbbell,

I can remember the first time
I held you in my hands.
Two 5-pound weights - small, yes,
But if you can remember,
I was seven.

My father, forty-six and still going,
Introduced me to you.
I was young, and wasn’t...

Jealousy in senior citizens
Is an ugly thing
It’s childish, it’s petty,
It has a negative ring
For elderly women, make no mistake
In certain surroundings
There’s quite an outbreak
And don’t they look silly
With their petulant smiles
As they pose and they...

You can be sitting absolute still

Dreading another Friday's arrival
Selfish pride begins to rear its not so pretty head
That fiercely familiar response engulfs me
Stirring pent-up emotions
Festering unhealed hurts
Reawakening forlorn feelings that had been laid to rest
Jealousy swarms my existence
Uncontrollable, passive-aggressive thoughts...

A jealous Goddess envious of me
Banned me to deep end of the sea.
I sought with last breath for life saving air,
When naught but water flowed down there.

A dolphin aware of my great distress
(And I near...
