Short Eyelet Poems

When I spot a squirrel
It is never common, ordinary or naked
They are usually fully dressed without a smile
The one I spied this morning wore a blue shirtwaist
When she ran up a tree, I saw white eyelet on her pantaloons

Sensual Steampunk Sally
Metals clanging as she walked
Slight peek of white eyelet lace

Black thigh high stockings
Matched her confident swagger
And self-satisfied look

We pirates watched in admiration
As she commandeered our ship

Days of no rain
Sweat to gain
Through the pain 
One would fall
Try to rise again
No complains
Your screams, would be heard in vain 
Just as the lace goes through the eyelet 
Pick your lane, run your race
Be the athlete
Maintain your pace 
Be focused, the energy stays
Failure is a myth
When believed, makes you lame
Success is a faith
When practiced, ups your game
Life is a maze
To find one's way is the aim....

Sweetie pie in your red and white dress and bows on your head,
Your blonde hair makes a pretty ponytail the lady said.
Your chubby pink cheeks indicates your age around two
Those eyelet trimmed stiff legged pantaloons look terrific on you.

Darling girl with a glowing complexion perfect and fine.
I adore seeing you wearing that old red dress of mine.
You make it look fresh, I sing out into the world with glee.
Did not look that great on grandma and that would be me....
