Grow Up!

She sleeps late. She 
Hates school. She 
Wears nightgowns. She 
Stares at the stars. She 
Laughs like She 
Loves life. She 
Flies home. She'll 
Grow up soon.


Premium Member retirement requires no dressing

used to wear heels
dressing with fancy jewelry
not any more

all about comfort
pajamas and nightgowns
barefooted too

retirement
unhurried and unstressed
free to be me

Premium Member She's a Short Spoken Woman

She’s a short-spoken woman he told all.
She’s short-legged? I asked, not at all tall?
Short-sighted? Another yelled from a wall.
She’s a shortstop? My uncle yelled from a stall.
She wears shortie nightgowns was the next call.
About to see a short temper on the man with the doll.

Living Memories

Your words,
    your gestures,
    your thoughts ...
    Your cold winter clothes,
    your summer nightgowns,
    your impressive figure ... all you,
    still lives in me ...
    Your memories live
    with me...
    You are in me
    as unfinished love,
    sleepy still love ... but in me
    not a lost love ...

Premium Member fashion is over the hill now

Soft t-shirts, warm flannels, easy to step into
Cozy fleece, light cotton, stretchy elastic waistbands
Comfy nightgowns, flowered pajamas, and a mumu
Retirement encourages a new way to dress
Comfort over class, coziness over chic
Fashion is over the hill now
I live in the country
The only ones who see me are my husband and my dogs


Incident

Anywhere. Evening rain.

Snakes cross the road,
             that is no longer an obvious place.
             It cracks like old toffee.

Lost souls in nightgowns and slippers
             foam behind wire.
             A dark tide bids,

then waits for the gallery of slight heads,
             a row of serious blue eyes,
             devoid of doubt.

A world of small signs.

Premium Member Loovly House

Look at the loovly garden!
Narry a thorn there scratches.
Look at the loovly birds!
A peeping chick soon hatches.
Look at the loovly house!
Such loovly locks and latches.

A loovly family inside.
In nightgowns lacking patches!
Each retires to loovly beds.
As I light loovly matches!
Come morning see the loovly dead.
Reposed upon the ashes!






"Loovly House" was in FANTASY & TERROR 4, 1984.

Premium Member A Cockcrow In Lace

the sunspots ensconced behind howdy-do curtains a cockcrow in lace white watering can french blue white sprouts of ivy deep green unhackneyed eggs bright brown the pale yellow sun flickers snow and no one wears silk nightgowns as knees fall, and wrinkles like weeds are read on the backside of palms that hurry the yolks and sizzle the bacon, pour coffee into old cups one for the geezer who grumps but puckers up for his buttercup
