Short Tulle Poems

a glint of sapphire eyes
	behind a veil …
the tulle has yellowed,
	gems sparkle still.

Silk, fine lustrous fabric 
a rapturous vow path 
Elegant romantic wedding
gowns; woven tulle waltz pose
rhinestone whirled in eddies
do the wed till eternity

An aqua tulle falls wistfully white,
her whispers hushed by her sister's roars;
hidden twixt and tween in mists
that rise in a garden where rainbows grow.
Does she flow in insignificance,
or lavish within the truth she knows
is hers...?...

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...

luminescent snow

    dressed in pewter, tulle, moonshine

          chilling the rooftop

    as December magic warms

          ... long shivers of twilight's kiss

A leap ... jete
a turn ... fouette
in the drama dance
of ballet.
A pas and then
glissade again
choreographed
by the danseuse
in her slippers
steel toed.
Balanced on tarsi strong
beneath her stiff tulle tutu,
she vaults
in an allegro passage
to soar
and interpret the tale....

Do not fear intelligent women
When in love they happen to be such fools.
They would attend to your every demon 
With dreams of a white gown of lace and tulle.
 
Been there, done that, wore those shoes, have that bruise.
Exaggeration played a silly trick.
"Got used to being yours and now I'm whose?"
Turns out I'm mediocre and not schick....

She twirls, swirls, dips and sways
In exotic costumes of satin and tulle
She leaps into the air her arms fluttering
Her pirouettes leave audiences stuttering
Into the wings she glides with grace
Then reappears to thunderous applause
An experience filled with fun and delight
Only at the ballet can we see such a sight.

Soft sky, may I embrace you?

Leaping from cloud to cloud in 
turquoise tulle ballet gown.

Bejeweled, matching slippers,
Hands in the air, as I glide down.
A sparkling Big Dipper!

What glorious joy, I do feel!
That no person can ever steal!

Dance and romance?
These are my life’s pleasures.
Simply, beyond any measure!

Tickled toes consume her tulle

                   Shell gems of replenishment 

                 Roll readily, her threaded spool

              Thighs swarmed by her punishment

Closed to me seven so cute bottles
Each one of them is a quarter of a Tola,
Each one is beautifully  covered by smooth tulle
Musk, rose, ambergris, camphor, basil, mint, and Cade fragrant
From dark brown to light white, pure water color,  core aroma in scents
Who is who!?
Chance

       Tola is an Indian unit of weight; the standard Tola is equal to 180 grains or 11.664 grams. Cade tree (Pandanus tectorius)....

she is like a chinese vase
(i do not know which dynasty from)
most probably of Min one
with the course of time
the smithereens 
have broken 
(almost invisibly)
you can understand
only 
if you pass a finger
on the mouth 
on the neck
on
but only if it is bare 
without a glove
(velvet or of tulle)
i do not know if i am doing it
but sometimes
in the morns
a light fog
is spreading
then i change my slip cover

it is light
and usually white...

What a gorgeous hat for the Derby someone whispered to Lee
Several cousins turned to stare, they seemed jealous to me.
Using words like persnickety, nasty, ridiculous and such 
I thought they were crazy; I liked this hat very much!

The turquoise color reminded me of the deep blue sea
Pink fluffy stuff looked like chiffon tulle to me
I especially liked the pops of fluorescent green
The cousins poking fun came across as jealous and mean...

He taught his bird
A bad word then
Wife heard the word

She had bad sight.
He was quite scarred
Just right for her

He tried to spell
Can’t do well, sighs 
To hell with it

New clothes to wear
A new hair do
Can’t spare more cash

Black eye would mend
A good friend mad
The end is sad

looked for his tin
what a grin now
In bin its tossed

Rained when they met
Such a wet greet
They get all dried

Her dream come true
She wore blue tulle
Her new dress shone...

Her aqua skirt flows in the sky,
like curtains of the Gods they play;
a Monet brushstroke low to high
- like life itself they go away.
But for now they dodge and weave
as in a phosphorescent pool,
a flirting dance before they leave,
behind a veil of colored tulle.
Behind the veil are sapphire eyes;
behind the skirt, there lies the night.
The curtains are a brief disguise;
seductive show of pure delight.
Now deeper to the heavens drawn,
within the night, before it's gone....
