naked feet and formal dress
macaws serenade
azure water comes ashore

Loved the American Mindy 
   He -- animated, yet robotic-formal
   She -- cute, though annoyingly normal...

By thoughts at the office too lewd
So it seems normal
To have work less formal
Make casual Friday all nude...

She used to talk faster than light; 
She started to fight one day, 
She forgot to talk in a formal way,
It was continued by day and at night....

Autumn’s nakedness
becomes robed in virgin snow
footprints prove there’s life,
yet the secrets of springtime
in hibernation till birth.

That we, and this life
As something theatrical
Do indeed approach
Apart from formal dress ups
Party's, dance's, date's
Arose, one fairytale eve
Upstepping Love's coach....

Wrapping her velvet cloak around her formal tight
The rest of the models stayed out of cockroach’s way
Knowing she will be left standing at the end of their day...

addressing the ball, with his putter,
"Before we begin,

Spiritual magic 
Dancing lightly
Dream State Ballroom

Formally formal
Gliding gracefully
Waltzing and bowing

Eyes flutter 
Not quite closed
Slipping into abyss

Sandman magic
Whistling softly
To not disturb dreamer...

Testing times for the masses
Testing surprises? wrong passes
Friends on paper turned foes
WHO was there and knows

Sellouts in for the kill
Digital tracking at the till
Liberties lost, the new normal
Curfew and lockdown now formal...

I dress up every Sunday, 
but only in my mind
My coat and tie in tattered shreds,
the past and future bind

To celebrate in peasant rags,

Imagining in formal garb
—what only I can see

I've noticed lately, more spice, more views
What in the world has come over youse
Have you no shame
Where's the class you proclaim
It's all about popularity so I'll continue this ruse


(This is NOT a formal complaint! LOL)...

Daddy's piano plays my sadness
The funeral of a feeling
with a funny uncle at the mass

The windows feel the breeze
it's  6 pm in the afternoon, in Lisbon
The sun hides in a purple dusky sky
We feel formal but weak 
We feel the missing of a heart...

Dotty arrived at the party dressed as a giant teacup
Some laughed at her, for it was formal, she should have dressed up
She was instantly engaged in conversation with Old Mrs Hupp
Who switched place cards, so she could sit by the friendly giant teacup...
