Premium Member teaching her husband a lesson

gorgeous kind-hearted empathetic
motivated lady godiva
usually dressed to the nines
taught her husband a lesson
showing off what he was missing
to the ones he referred to as commoners


Premium Member Fancy Kitty

The fluffy fancy gray kitten is dressed to the tens
We used to say the nines, but have you seen her lately?
She is prettier than a peacock and two flocks of hens.
She looks gorgeous, she is truly dressed finely and greatly.

Premium Member Red Sprite

Red sprite viewed on high.
A pilate’s surprised,
Rubs his weary eyes.
SHE’S dressed to the nines.
She’s MORE surprised to see him.
“Why isn’t he more down to earth?”
She asks herself.
Why would these earthlings arise
“Is it their pride?” She wonders.

Winged Ones

Bustling old fella dashing biddly bop by dressed to the nines
with briefcase stuffed under his arm equipped with fixed maniacal grin jabbering to himself while confirming his expressions
to an equally jazzed and jaunty westie he calls Ralph trailing exuberantly behind
let's me know that there are actually still some living beings out there
to learn from

Premium Member Ghostly Pink

Ghostly Pink and her little dog Tutu
were at the Parisian Café at six after two
They were dressed to the nines which they often do
Rude people walked by asking them for a boo

Ghostly Pink did not give them any attention or reply
But they got a growl if they caught little Tutu’s eye
He does not like to perform for just any old guy.
He preferred people who ignored them as they walked by.

Turtle and Seal

Trendy Turtle
dressed to the toe,
Trendy Turtle
with a hat and a bow.

Trendy Turtle
tumbled down the hill
Where he bumped
into the silly Seal.

Silly Seal then
went up the hill
And clapped her flippers
with zest and zeal.

Trendy Turtle,
Puffing and fuming,
Pulled his left sock up,
Fuming and fretting,
Pulled his right sock up.

Trendy Turtle
Upset and mightily beat
Trendy Turtle
Strutted down the street!

Premium Member Fashionable Cat Keeps Her Secrets

No matter who you ask
If you expect two adjectives
One of them will be fashionable
She is a diva cat, dressed to the eights.

I would have said nines, but that is rude
considering what nine means in the lives of a cat.
She arrived today with a self-portrait bag.
We begged to know where she ordered it.

Of course she had conveniently forgotten,
not wanting to share her fashionable ways
with the rest of us.

Premium Member Fortune Telling Squirrel

Fortune telling squirrel was dressed to the sevens
She had things to tell us, that puffed some up to elevens.
She had nothing to say to my cousin that weird day.
We left disappointed, no more reason to stay.

It’s odd she had so much to tell the rest of us I said.
No one likes me said my cousin, she’s always full of dread.
She only lasted one week more, my cousin, Ilene.
Which might be what the all-seeing squirrel had seen.

Premium Member Decor Exquisite, Service Superb

     A candlelit restaurant, where dine the elite
        Securing a reservation, a near-impossible feat

     My dream date and I, dressed to the nines
        The views majestic, overlooking the Rhine

      The décor exquisite, in the finest of taste
         The service superb, orders prepared post-haste

      But the cuisine so awful, my date gave me a glance
         Darling, I confessed ~ I ordered the ambience

Premium Member Victorian Family Appearing out of Nowhere

this family was a throwback to the 1890’s I think
they appeared out of nowhere, a wormhole clink?
they were dressed like Victorians in feathers and fur
their child had a ****, and their horse gave a purr

fluffy in velvet gown and fancy boots was the wife
Husband wore a brocade vest and a top hat as sharp as a knife
the children were dressed to the maximum which we do not do
this Victorian family was a throwback to 1891 or 92.

Beneath It All

Here walks a man
Dressed to the nines
Talking by hand 
With a mouth full of sighs

Fingers in his pockets
Grasping wads of lint
Eyes rolling in their sockets
Torn socks in shoes looking mint

Trully impressive he is
While he struts down the road
Self-assured the strain of that smile of his
Will stay hidden within the fold

The truth this man
Remains but a mystery
His shiny facade a sham
Yet it does its job implicitly

Premium Member Nine

Nine,  the number of innings in a baseball game
If you're on cloud nine,  it's happiness you proclaim
Everything included means you want the whole nine yards

Nine judges on the supreme court act like retards
In nine months a baby emerges from the womb
A cat has nine lives is what we assume

If you're dressed to the nines, then  you're fine
 A standard work day will usually begin at nine
All entries in this contest must have nine lines

Premium Member The Fashion Show

The Fashion Show

I took pattern making autumns ago
I measured and cut a bodice to sew 
A vintage cocktail dress trimmed with mojo
Louie Fifteen Courts would never forgo                                                                   
I’m dressed to the nines and nowhere to go
Aha, of course, there’s a chic fashion show 
It’s a full house, the theme: “Haute Escato” 
Awed by the finale I yell bravo! 
Home watching YouTube, with chips and merlot

Premium Member MAMAs AT THE SHORE

They call it pancake ice.
Flipping our minds.
Imagine the river
as maple syrup.
Mama’s at the shore
in an old-fashioned apron,
smiling, waiting
to see if we feast
on all the pancakes.
That is when we know
it is Spring, and
I see her again
dressed to the nines.
I can reach out
and talk to her
and we can talk
of days gone by,
like when Dad cried
for months at a time.
He comes to her
in the pancake boat.
Dad says her lips
taste like maple syrup
…and forever.

Phases of Love

Nascent love
Ebullient unrestrained
Triggers spark on each touch
Desire in each gaze
Dressed to the hilt
Sprinkled with perfumes and gels
Spills over in bars and discos
Waiting for a passionate night to share

Mature love
Settled in the veins
Warms from within
Hair unkempt and eyes unadorned
Leans over shoulders and stretches
With a cup of coffee beside the fireplace
Inhaling the tedium of winter nights
Ensconced in a blanket with life to share

Premium Member She Is Riding An Ostrich

She will probably be dressed to the sevens but riding a goat.
I could not wait to see her, my Great Aunt, Myrtle Van Poat.
I think she traded the goat for an alligator Uncle Tye said.
Well maybe she won’t come at all, maybe she’s dead.

The relatives sound jealous of Aunt Myrtle if you ask me.
She has been on cruises, and adventures in at least six seas.
She did not tie herself down with a dull, boring, banal life.
She’s riding an ostrich! Says Penelope, Uncle Tye’s jealous wife.

Premium Member Jealous of Mr and Mrs Meow the 16th

mr and mrs merlin meow the sixteenth were on the brink
of letting Kansas City High Society know what they think.
the star put their photo on the front page with a link.
each of them dressed to the nines, holding their favorite drink.

those two do not think that their prissy litter boxes stink!
sniffed their gardener, a put-upon python wearing bright pink.
look at her, she’s such a back-stabber, a gossip, a fink!
yelled his wife Priscilla, with a sassy sashay and a slippery slink.

Smoking

jewelry and make up
give us glamor
cigaretts and smoke
drink and laughter
how distinguished we look 
with ciggy in claws
blowing smoke into faces
waiting for applause
just for effect
you pucker and blow 
and the other half of the smoke
comes out your nose
who care where it goes
in the air or in your clothes
what you smell like 
you may never know
dressed to the nines 
and doing just fine
running out of cigarettes 
the last thing on your mind

(This is where you come in)
