Short Coquettish Poems

shadowed wane moon smiles
eye-catching incandescent 
north star smitten ebbs

Shadowy silver curls of sweat
Beads of pearls along the way
Coats of pink nail polish
With sparkling silver overlay
Easy streets yet broken beats
Of concrete noise in an urban throng
Of despair and hollow noise
Dogs and cats eat the wooden bark
Of coquettish thriving meows
Silver singles, oh yes, us oldies do mingle...

My favorite outfit,
don't leave the house, yeah
prisoner of the wardrobe,
knows nothing of life...
my favorite shorts,
it is... well ventured...
it has two holes
on each side, but is
cool and coquettish...
Not intimidated by anything,
attend any ceremony,
is always friendly and festive,
  and there is none
shame...!...

A vision of pulchritude
My sweet little Isabel
Coquettish in the extreme
A beautiful southern belle
Lithe limbed and gracile
She is hopelessly vivacious
With her sylph like elegance
She tends to the outrageous
But for all her dalliances
And her overt vivacity
Her revelling in the attention
She is still in love with me...

EMOTIONAL BRUSH STROKES

a backlit painting
darkens in the mind’s mirror,
falling from her throne

the woman’s figure
in geometric color,
neon flash of strobe

will all the king’s men
mend the shattered glass
restrict her movement?

petty and pretty
prideful and coquettish blitz
— conflicted artist?

MIRANDA'S PROVERBS COLLECTION

    VEILS

Although she covers her face with a veil, she
   always manages to be coquettish. (Bengali)

With a veil every woman is beautiful. (Azerbaijani)

A woman without a veil is like food without salt. (Pashto)

An ugly woman exchanges a silk belt for a woolen veil. (Russian)

The thicker the veil, the less worth taking it off. (Turkish)

>                 Exotically pirouetting in the scented summer breeze
                    Daintily coquettish resting in leafy green trees
                    On translucent wings floats flower to flower 
                    Delicately shivering in a cool midday shower ,
                    In the glow of the evening fades quietly away 
                     Hopefully to return some other sunny day <...

Within and without you
  Over, under, all about you
There's an aura of grace
  Of fragrance and lace

A Southern belle in your day
  Time takes not charm away
The hearts you've captured
  Yet swell with rapture

Your gait's a step slower
  You don't swivel your hips
Yet a coquettish smile
  Still plays 'bout your lips

Heed not the naysayers
  Who hold today's passed you by
The mere sound of your name
  ~ Manifest awe in my eye...
