All In a Day's Weather

slacks, sandals, sleeveless tops
                           morning gear in the ‘Sip

                    corduroys, snow boots, winter coats
                     when afternoon temperatures dip

Sleeveless

bare shoulders ripple
straining with unseen weight
scarred biceps bulge
saturated by interior rain
veins bursting forth
exploding from darkness
forearms swell abnormally
hiding suppressed emotion
fingers clutch frantically
for a heart shattering......

Premium Member Radiant Fall

Fall's levitating leaves, wafting on gentle breeze. Each one vainly believes it can fly high with ease. Colors beg hearts to cease! Kaleidoscopic trees wave wild without surcease, flailing sleeveless chemise, bringing one to one's knees. Radiant days to please!

Friends

Your old sleeveless cut-off
is still hanging on my doorknob
and when she came over
yesterday
we both saw it
-kind of awkward actually
-kind of funny actually
she stuttered,
trying to make things right between us
I didn't say much
poor,poor girl
Doesn't she remember how
bad you treated me?

Premium Member Rain Dis-explained Mood

rain dis-explained mood
umbrella’s up & at ‘em
and ready to pack
Past night’s wind whipped me
into a wild frenzy

sleeveless sun-soak
light shorts, aloe, and sunscreen
sunglasses and party things
feet lightly bound in sneakers
to hit French Quarter pavement

green skies, non-blue mood
not oppressive; hands shaking
branches friendly grip
no shades of sunny yellow
smiley faces all around

Augusts turn

I saw you
tip toe through the change
Unflatteringly and seamlessly
You turned from Summer to August
The forebode was bothered
I was sleeveless until you found me
That  Tempest wind
with its own perilous sermonizing

The dull fruits  were harbingers
from another's basket
Clumps of tenderized grass
ebbing in its lost impress
You scoffed at me
whilst I unwelcomed you
Ill affording me
in the ruffled cross hairs
of spite

 Morning
 My Muse
 Floral gym shoes 
 Terry aqua sleeveless dress
 Eggs frying on my stove
 Whole wheat toast, aroma utterly entrancing
 Brazilian Bossa Nova notes filling all rooms
 Floral tablecloth embracing sparkling utensils, glasses  dishes, cups
 Smiling, red petunias rest on the shiny, tall microwave
 Saying grace, hands folded in the kitchenette, her holy place

Abstraction

Woman with spineless dresses 
And men with sleeveless shirts,
Boys with Scary custom's 
And girls with gentle toys,
Crying babies, and singing cats 
Dogs born from the dark:
So they bark to be heard,  

No bones and whistles for wolves,
No man's best friend?
Just howls at the moon,
Venus upon the eastern sphere's  
Standing naked on water and stared by everyone,

A selfie: flash! as she gets captured
Lighting strikes and all get's purged

Fashion Victims

There is a new fashion range
Launching in the spring
And if you are of certain bent
Then for you it’s just the thing

There will be corduroy trousers
With a very high waist
And knitted sleeveless sweaters
To suit every taste

Jackets will be of Harris Tweed
With leather elbow patches
Shirt collars will button down
On a tie that never matches

So when will these hit the shops?
Is that the question I hear? 
Be patient it will be with us soon
And it’s known as Boffin wear
