Premium Member Pristine Pink Petticoat

A pristine pink petticoat prissily pranced priggishly and primly.
A prideful prima donna prisoner of Peggy’s prideful preteen

Moon Dance

A coy moon glides in a lively 
Viennese waltz
Across a sky of billowing 
petticoat clouds 
A flowing, triple time, closed 
step, pausing halt. 
A ballerina basking in the glow 
of appreciative crowds.

The Impossible Mistress

she walks on, this woman
till her worldly bell tolls 
sleepless and confusing
candor in her top dress
obscurity in her petticoat
intrigue under the armpit
a button of danger in heart 
Yet behind her, a rush of id

Premium Member easter sunday memories

Lavender gingham dress
Teensy tiny cotton checks
Laced pinafore with dotted Swiss trim
Thick scratchy twirling tulle petticoat
Lacy white Sunday school gloves
I twirled my dress in my shiny patent leather shoes
Feeling enormously pretty

Premium Member Beach Feels Honored

Swirly dress of turquoise waves flipped up water edges
Showing off ocean’s prettiest, frothiest, fanciest lacy petticoat
Appreciated by beach, who felt honored and appreciated
Loving that he was the lone recipient of such beauty this morning

Premium Member Rock Around the Clock With Flair and Fun

she's dress with flair and fun
in a red floral dress,
petticoat and finesse,
shoes color of the sun

she gathers up her dress,
he loosen his necktie
feel the music and fly

toe tapping Summertime Blues,
and sweet Peggy Sue, chill
to slow Blueberry Hill,
fast pace Tutti Frutti, and booze

Embarrassment

I became dizzy from the grand heat
I jump and stumble on my large feet
I fought to keep my balance upright
But soon sweet green grass filled my sight
As I got up, wiped at my face
I saw layers and layers of petticoat lace
Oh my luck, it had to be!?
'Miss' Julie Aberly
I knew, all day about me she would lie
Told me the smirk on her lips
And the twinkle in her eyes

Premium Member If I Were a Bouquet

If I was a bouquet, I would be full and bushy with purple and lavender flowers.
Violets, lilac, white baby’s breath, fuchsia crepe myrtle, pink knock-out roses
Streams of orange and yellow silk ribbons would flow as a petticoat.
I would be dancing and jiving to jazzy music as my bride skipped down the aisle
Her father would have to try and keep up with her jazzy dance moves.

Delightful Disorder

A sweet disorder in the dress kindles
In clothes a wantonness; a stole about
The shoulders thrown, a fine distraction; an
ErrIng Lace, which here and there enthralls the
Crimson Vest; a cuff neglectful, ribbons
Flow confusedly: a winning wave (note)
In the tempestuous petticoat: a 
Careless shoe-string, in whose tie I see a
Wild civility: does more bewitch me, 
Than Art when too precise in ev'ry part.

Red Parasol

Peace and quiet and dignity.


Bring me peace, tranquillity
With seagulls skimming silent sea
Lapping waves that softly flap
I will have a piece of that

Not for me the noise of town
But rocks of grey and sand of brown
Soft breeze that blows through petticoat
And pushes gently sail boat

To sit and speak and laugh away
I will take this any day
It will be time to go home soon
Back to the drudginous and gloom

Of City life.

Premium Member I Have Been a Petticoat

Slender man is pliable,
slender man is fun and kind.
Slender man is ready to be used to help mankind.

I have been a petticoat, he tells me.
I have been a hamster ball.
I have been of use to others – young, old, small and tall.

Slender man is flexible.
Slender man is willing.
Slender man is confident, his smile is oh, so filling!

I have been a spider, he tells me.
I have been a flea.
But being a petticoat was the happiest time for me!

Premium Member Female Statue In Platinum

powerful piece de resistance
precise, provocative, posturing 
providing plebian pleasure

Statuesque as an Amazon woman,
Platinum or pewter? She perseveres 
Prodigious? Preternatural and pivotal

Regal, brilliant, a spiritualistic luster
She sparkles with pure effervescence,
glistens with a gloriousness unknown by most

I follow her pooling petticoat into the 
outer limits of my poetic imagination, 
expecting nothing less than perfection.

Frank Cady

You starred as MR. Drucker on Green Acres and Petticoat Junction.
When it came to abilities, acting was definitely your function.
You lived to be 96, that was a very long life span.
There's no doubt that you were a talented man.

You also starred as Doc Williams on Ozzie and Harriet.
Now your life is over and it's what your fans all regret.
People are sad because you are deceased.
Now we say goodbye as you rest in peace.

(Dedicated to Frank Cady who died June 8, 2012.)

Darling In Water Falls

Darling in water falls
Down gradient of hill, rapid fall
Darling inwater falls overwhelmed by jet of water to throw mould soil
Soil rubbed as face pack
It is like a drama among fables
What the charms to feel one’s oat
Have to watch her petticoat
cute darling in wetty dress
Makes me refresh
A glass of lemon water too offers to lip’s thirsty
Her body, her mind, her stomach is in hungry
It could be rapid falls can meet up 
But the shadow behind hill can not make up.

Estrangement

A Distance — not of Miles —
But of the Shifting Air —
A Quiet that replaced the Tongue
We once were proud to wear —

A Frost came in the Noon —
And laid its Silver Thread —
Between the Pulse that answered Yours
And Mine — in disrepair —

No Thunder ever spoke —
So softly — as you leave —
Yet every Petticoat of Wind
Reminds me how to grieve —

Estrangement is a Room —
With Windows — shuttered tight —
Where Love still moves — a Ghostly Guest —
And will — beyond the Night.
