A funeral scene

                            pigtails of the rainbow light 
 
                                               lose all its colors!

Flowers In My Hair


Flowers in my hair 
pigtails light as air  
Sequenced bows oh what flair
for a pretty girl named Claire.
Many headbands I shall wear,   
count them if you dare !

Premium Member Pinky the Odd Little Poof

Pina colada? 
Pinky said sure.
Pinafore dressed
She looked truly pure.

Pin curls and pinballs.
Pinky provided proof
Pigtails non-withstanding
She was an odd little poof.

upside down sky

loving it
fuzzy blurs
screaming now

joyful
thrilling

fun

To Christine, 1972

Hotpants showing off tanned legs
as long as a June school day

Blonde pigtails framing wide eyes,
bluer than Peruvian opals

Cherry lips freeing sly smiles
that gleamed on those dark nights

Eager heart sharing ill fated love
with this lucky, grateful lover

First Kiss

When Jimmy ate the paste,
there was a smile on Susan's face
Her pigtails he wanted to pull,
but the teacher had rules.
Recess came with a ding and a dong,
Susan then followed Jimmy alone.
His face turned red as she pecked his cheek,
This was Jimmy’s first kiss.

Winning Fairly

The judges took me to the side,
whispering softly “You've gotten them
all right, but you cannot win everything.
It isn't fair to the other children.”

I rolled my eyes and pulled on
my pigtails. If I had won them
all, I should get them all. Adults
are so silly in their concepts of fair.

Premium Member the photograph album



I find an album with matt thick black pages
my wet eyes hungry for each pose of this girl 
in pigtails with a reluctant kitty, then on a bike
in a pretty prom dress, then holding a baby, me
turning the pages your smiles become frauds
your skin wrinkled, your pain quiet and graceful
age

Premium Member Girl Power

Giggling and playing hopscotch 
Indigo dreams of being a star
Running wild before training bra
Laughter and smiles come from heart

Pigtails and bikes dolls and skates 
Onyx starry nights by the lake
Whimsical dreams esteemed out loud
Emerald queens and all girls scouts
Ready to live learn camping out

Premium Member Little Girl In Pigtails

Sparkling little star, So much you warm my heart, A little girl in pigtails Made of sugar and spice, But enticed with snails and mice And puppy-dog wagtails When you sing you bring happiness to my heart So sweet you are my brightest little star By: Eve Roper 8/28/2015

Premium Member Petunia Days

Morning tumbles into my arms,
I give a gentle hug,
Smooth down 
Her long gauzy dress,
Run my fingers through her rays
And braid sweet pea tendrils in blond pigtails.

Lifting up her quivering chin
I gaze into sapphire eyes,
Drawl encouraging morning words:
“Good” and “glory”,
“Dove”,
And she embraces the petunia day.

New Girl




Lemmie Jimmie is a playa!
Look at him smiling,
walking with his new girl
Why are the other pigtails all hating 
on LJ being so happy ... 
‘cause he caught the eye of the new girl
Watch Leonard James
affectionately always playing
with his favorite new baby girl
He a playa for sho’ ... 
his high school sweetheart wife
oughta know

Premium Member Nothing

She smells like nothing 
To the whole world 
Tattered dress ripped leggings 
Pigtails on the sad girl 
No one sees her face
She slinks around 
All hopes and dreams 
Shattered no fortunes found
Onlookers judge her dirty clothes 
Unrecognizable the sweet 
Child of nobody and no one
Raised in the street
She smells like nothing
To the whole world

My Teenage Daughter

I've watched her grow from pigtails to makeup, from crayons to dressup.
 From playdates to real dates. How can this be, suddenly she's turned into miss popularity.
Prom dresses and pictures tears and confusion, was her just being a little sweet girl just an 
illusion? Suddenly i have become unpopular with her and popular with Dr. phil now i'm 
thinking i need to get my daugther on the pill.

Premium Member No That Is Not It

Her ginger pigtails remind me of something he says.
I stare at him. They are like Pippi Longstocking, I reply.
No, that’s not it.
Yes, it is I think.
I think it was someone on Tik Tock.
Pretending to be Pippi Longstocking I interject.
Not even close, he replies.
I stop trying.
Knowing his mind is closed
Or maybe he is too young to know
Where these pigtails originated
Back in the forties.

National Hair Day

It’s National Hair Day - raise a comb!
Shake your tresses - write a poem!
Whether blonde, brunette or red,
Let’s celebrate what’s on your head.

Curly, wavy, frizzy, straight,
Pigtails or a single plait,
Buzz cut, Mohawk, updo, ‘fro,
Messy or arranged just so.

How we look, what gives us flair 
Depends, in part, upon our hair.
No matter what your style is called 
It’s yours to flaunt - unless you’re bald!

Premium Member Sweet Darling Tomboy

Little darling
You’d be so sweet 
With your hair done up in pigtails
Dressed up in a pink frilly dress

Your tomboy ways have charm
They’ll get you far in life
Running in the park and
Challenging yourself
A doll hardly seeming like an option

You have the eyes of a leader
The drive of a champion
But please enjoy your youth
And most of all don’t grow up too fast
I’ll take you today shopping for a doll

Premium Member the biggest faerie passes gas

advertised herself as the biggest faerie to date
dressed herself in a tutu and did a quick figure eight
four hundred pounds had never moved this fast before
she passed a bit of gas as she sailed out the front door

the children were delighted, they screamed with delight
she twirled back inside, her cheeks were all pink and bright
best faerie in the world, a little girl with pigtails said.
the faerie felt good; this gave her an enormous big head

My Girl

MY GIRL

Lazy summer days
Pigtails, French braids
Long silky hair blowing
In the wind
Days forever gone
Tears well up in my eyes
And I long once again
To hold her close
To see her smile
To hear her laughter
Tinkle like rain

Lord, shower down from heaven
Encouraging words of
Together we will be
In that glorious place
A world without pain
Hearts completely healed
Memories of yesterday
Live on today
Hope of a tomorrow
Full of promise

Ponytail

I haven't had a ponytail
Since I was very young
And even then, most likely,
Into braids my hair was hung.

When frizz set in, I chopped my locks
And thus the die was cast,
So ponytails and pigtails were
A remnant of the past.

But when I see a jogger
With her ponytail a'bounce,
Its jaunty whipping of the air
Seems like it does announce:

Just check me out! I'm oh, so cool
And confident and fit.
So feast your jealous eyes -
I'm the epitome of IT!

Pigtails Against the World

A black dress draped off me

Flowing with the wind 

Following the crowd

Roses clutched in my hands

Alone in the crowd I stood

No one bothered to watch me

Not passing most of their hips

I was invisible

Fixing my pigtails I watched her go down

Six feet down

No hands held my shaking wrists

Tears streamed without a mother's kiss

Shoulders hunched over without a father's hug

Seven years old

Too young to be at a funeral

At a funeral alone

Premium Member For Joy/ Memories of Xian, China

Oh the heart tears.
It beats and throbs.
Well springs of light lanterns
Weave and bob.

Still, darkened grime rimed
portals glare,
sad, empty-eyed adults stare.
Oh the heart tears.
Its pulse expands.

Forced back; 
dark dwellers disband.
Replaced by children’s crimson cheeks;
lollipops, pigtails, skipping feet.

Small hearts, so precious,
small hands so bold;
reaching out the world to hold.

Oh the heart weeps, it weeps for joy,
but  only for one girl or boy.

Premium Member Round

From my very first moment  I was "round"
Easily verified by pictures found

Such an adorable little lass
Even though having some extra mass

Having  dimples here and dimples there
Always sporting pigtails in my hair

My  sweet face a perfect little ball
Unfortunately, I was not so very tall

 Never met a person I didn't like
Always such an engaging little tyke

To be a pudgy princess was my plight
Now, happily" round" in places right


For the Baby-Boo contest..lol
