ruffled marigolds showing off their petticoats
hollyhock rivals promenade into the center of the garden
the dance off of the century
whining accordions
polka dancers
old women wearing fluffy petticoats
old men in plaid shirts and cowboy hats
Midwestern square dancers
harbinger
amber undertones
ruffles summer petticoats ~
autumn starts to breathe

preening and prancing
in pretty pink petticoats…

There once was a lady from Indy
Who comes out of her house when it’s windy
She doesn’t walk fast
Though her friends are aghast
That her petticoats look very trendy
Cottonwood trees cavort their petticoats
Flashing sparkly lacy glimpses of white
August day as breezy as it ever was
Tree line of chorus girls shameless in their reveal.
Delightful hollyhock girls kick up their petticoats
Showing their pantaloons to the rest of the garden
I smile at their old-fashioned innocence
Bumble bees feel their exuberance and stop to chat.
white lace
angelic and pristine
reminds me of innocent babies and toddlers
petticoats and socks
black lace
gothic
devilish
sexy
worn by cougars and eager brides
enticing and sensual
red lace
ugly and tacky
petals and petticoats
mimes and marigots
blossoms and bubble boats
coal buckets and car coats
frazzle fritzes and fuzzy floats
germinating grouchy goats
muzzle loading mischief moats
ostracize ostrich’s olive oats
Romantic-minded, young flower girl in delicate chiffon blue
Flipped her dainty lace petticoats up; her name was Lu.
Her lively hands kept touching the embroidered flowers.
She was excited about the wedding and all the showers
this summer sky is what we had in the twenties
I stared at my great-great-aunt
wanting to say this is the twenties
an old- fashioned day, she said
when women wore lace gloves and dresses
and lace petticoats I added, feeling mean
spring arrives today
a scatter of clouds grey
parisian rains unfurl
winds that twirl and hurl
umbrellas in the air
petticoats fly up with flair
whether each parisian girl
parades for whim or dare

THERE ONCE WAS A LASS FROM MANHATTAN
SHE WORE PETTICOATS MADE OF RED SATIN
FOR PLAYBOY SHE MODELED NUDE
‘TIL HER LIFE WAS VIOLENTLY SUBDUED
AND HER NAME WAS DOROTHY STRATTEN

the hourglass worries me not
for its eternal sands
fall not onto glass
but upon the silver beach
that reaches under the liquid petticoats
of your beloved ocean
by which i stand
on this night of stars
lost in the constellation
of cancer
Fairy blossoms
climb through my dreams
cascading over moonlight
and statuesque fountains
purple parachutes
pirouette across the
gloaming
in a twinkle
the laughter of evening
bells
and swirling petticoats
caper through the garden
till dawn
This is the special joyous day I had been seeking
An excited square dancer in pink checked gingham
Twirling her merry-go-round of white lacy petticoats
Delicious funnelcake magic dusted with warm sugar
Shrieking in the happy manner of a carnival ride
The alcea or hollyhock
Waltzers by with a schmaltzy walk
Jasper color facets her stock
Cashet and lock , cashet and lock
Balkers do not alcea breathe,
Masher gives her a sweet reprieve
Upside down petticoats believe
She’s wild and free, she’s wild and free

merry-go-round twigs
wiggling down rows of grasses…
summer petticoats
charcoal sands boling
Monet grass wears red-tanned shades…
bubbled tints on shore

for Briand's Any Theme/Form
from nette onclaud
She was all decked out in petticoats plus.
Tried to get on the stage with us.
But we pushed her out onto her rear.
No fancy women allowed in here.
Our men laughed at our evil action.
But we did not care. Gave us satisfaction.
The good book helps us be mean to these kind.
What would Jesus do? Let’s never mind.
Hannah Adderley jumped with a wail
from the clifftop at Middleton Dale
but her petticoats cute
made a great parachute
for a soft landing, wow! What a tale!
(Hannah, of Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire, had been jilted at the altar
and although her suicide attempt was a failure she died of natural causes
two years later in 1764)
You watch the candle burning
you thought they were a charade
watching them flicker
You played with painted ladies
see how they turn and twitch
And the moon is praying
to be somewhere else,
solitary as a walk on the parade
you watch the sky's unfold
like petticoats they flutter
by beach and inroads
you groan for redemption
gathered within the dust
The horses’ lacy white petticoats and ribboned pantaloons
Were kicked almost as high as a delightful orange harvest moon.
The anger came from the big burly brown baboons
Who were left out by the snotty uppity raccoon.
I felt like an uninformed ridiculous goon,
Because I had assigned the notorious snotty coons
The task of doling out the petticoats and the pantaloons.
an icicle
drip, drip, dripping away
slips of spring
sunlight gleams
winter garb cast aside
petticoats flash
rays of gold
glistening on the glen
flicks of foxtails
mewling mouths
nuzzle at their mother
come spring
[“petticoats” in this instance are meant to signify
glistening white snow, hidden beneath gray snow banks,
and exposed suddenly by early spring sunshine.]
