Short Nightgown Poems

in god's dark wardrobe 
like a ghost of a nightgown 
a see-through soul glows...

Now is the time to hunker down
COVID-19 has come to town
Avoid your doom
Stay in your room
But just in case, wear a nightgown!...

Police arrested old Mrs. Brown
For walking around during Lockdown
She said it was hot
And simply forgot
She was wearing a sexy nightgown...

Caressa Bulge came to our town
And looked superb in her nightgown
But to her surprise
A bulge did arise
Springing out as a tattooed clown...

Again our old nemesis is hanging around
That old bug's running rampant in our town
Attacking young and old
In numbers untold
The attire for many is a pretty flowered nightgown

Ah, yes! A jock can dream!
As depicted in Apple’s, latest,
Pregnant, male, emoji.

I imagine an overweight male,
In a slinky nightgown, hairy legs.
Puffing circles,from his very favorite stogie!

Fall

Towns alive with football games, festive parades and county fairs
while nature dresses for sleep in her nightgown of earthen hues.
Festivals hushing at the end as she beds down....Grand is Fall....

Carrying a hatchet to town 
dressed up in a jester’s nightgown;
This victim of a painted frown;
The Devil’s clown, the Devil’s clown;

Slashing at pain with a wild laugh 
armed with an old booth photograph;
On your heart carved his autograph 
cut it in half, cut it in half....

As Jack Was Walking in The Snow

Jack saw wife's nightgown on the home snowbank
At first, his heart leaped frogged, and teeth croaked clank
Why his little bare bo-peep
Pulling his buff wool so deep
Soon joy rose and love snowballed at her prank

DIPPING MY QUILL IN MOON-INK

Lantern swings, overhead, in brilliant thought

Moonglow tickles the writer’s plumage

Nightingale’s nom de plume

Opus tweets out sweet lyrics.

Recklessly romantic in clinging full-length nightgown

The softness of my nightgown delights me.
I admire her feeling against my skin.
She puts me in a fantastic mood.
She made me feel better when I was sick too.

I was too ill to appreciate her then.
But now I sit in my recliner, stroking her colors.
Glad that I saved her from all of those salvage bins.
She has outlived so many others that were not as soft....

I have no style, just a nightgown I love.
Something as stylish as a garden glove.
One that should have been burned years ago.
I wear it daily, it is so grimy it has a glow.

It has a personality of a being who glowers.
It is big and bulky with enormous flowers.
It smells of chocolate, vanilla, onions and thyme.
It will be the last item in the rag pile in my life time....

In the dark,
Familiar sounds of dogs
Barking wake me from
A dream of you sleeping,
Warm and close,
Next to me.

I reach out for your hip,
But find only absence.

In the dark,
I think of you,
The sweetness of your smile,
The gentle rise and fall
Of your voice,
The well worn softness
Of your nightgown
That hugs you like I do
When we're near.

I miss you, Dear!...

I asked the mirror
Why I was born.
It told me twice
That I was blessed
To have lived life,
To smile at the sky,
To feel the warmth 
Of sunshine,
To scamper
Across the meadow,
To laugh, to love,
To simply breathe.
It later said that
Some people 
Do not see
The beauty of life.
Do not be this child
Who never took time
To celebrate life.
I frowned 
And went away....

Loveliest moment of my day,
when on my bed in red plaid
nightgown lay,
My calico jumps on my tummy 
and places her soft head on my 
chest.
She embraces my neck with one
tender paw.
I fall asleep in a world of wintry awe!
This is magical peace, I do proclaim.
This is my moment of ulimate serenity,
A duo,bound~ such a loving domain!

wander about
in your old nightgown
I'll give you a book to read
about yourself
you can carry it up and down the stairs
wailing if you want
like the old british queens you love so much
wander about
carry a candle 
maybe you'll feel real again
when you pretend
that you are not yourself
but that character that you shut yourself up with
online
I know
you betray me
you always have...

Not yet as graceful as the swan she shall be
but charming and delightful is Eloise to me.
Trying her best to stay en pointe on tiny toes,
focusing on pirouettes, she wiggles her nose.

Still a bit shy when she knows others are looking.
A few years more until The Royal Ballet's booking.
This petite ballerina twirls in circles all around
in her leotard and tutu or in her pink nightgown.

the cockroaches had been disturbed
They were running out from under her nightgown
on to the gurney the firemen were holding.
Where were they coming from?
The corpulent woman pretended not to notice 
knowing they had been living in her fat rolls
She was glad their dark haven had been violated
Maybe when she got to the hospital someone would fix her
She had been living in the dark with these creatures for a long time...

Teacher says every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings

From classic movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”

EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS

The dollars became a pain,
ka-ching, with each passing hour…
who’d complain?
So many wings being awarded
the bells’ wearing out Joseph -
the Bailey’s, becoming repulsive.
It’s all Clarence’s fault.
But he’s smiling ear to ear -
fluttering in his nightgown.
For this angel,
It’s a wonderful life.

Dancing in the Streets


I'd love to traverse in the moonit city streets.
Dancing in a flowing nightgown in only my bare feet.

With my friend, the tambourine, its sparkling ribbons 
a shimmer, in the air.

The crown of my aromatic gardenia crown, totally 
intoxicating my soul and flowing hair.

I'd dance all the way to our small town lake,
Remove my finery, a seductive moonlight swim would 
I both relish and take!

I see you in the yearning of early morning's dawn
   Your arms outstretched, sheer nightgown on

I see you in the sparkle of the summer's dew
   Your lips moist with promise, in their ruby hue 

I see you at twilight, as the first star emerges
   The scent of your shadow informing my urges 

I see you as I lay me down on my pillow
   Your presence a comfort, like a weeping willow  

In each of my visions do you appear 
   Though I'd trade every one to see you here...

Twilight witnesses her travel through the woods
As white nightgown drapes upon the passing paths
Seeking out the meadow of first love from days long past

Her eyes reflect the royal luminescence of the moon
As her cheeks tighten to a wishful, seductive smile
While hoping her lover has been there all the while

At long last, as the moon smiled upon her, so did another
With a turn to her, her heart became captive, as did his
She reached to her lover, embraced and fell into a kiss...

Candles lit up in the dark
Romantic movie--doors are locked
Petals all across the bed
From a rose so dark and red
Wine is being chilled on ice
So the flavors really nice

A new nightgown of silk and lace
To put a smile on his face
Chocolate melted on a berry
Making your mouth really merry

For a special night of love
To make an angel from above
A little one to call your own
And raise until she's finally grown
