Summer Dress String Vest & Floppy Hat

Stuff & nonsense

The

Price tag

On her brand

New lemon summer dress

Waved back upon a gentle breeze

While Brulee chased huge dragonflies

Across those brilliant turquoise Weekend skies

 

Then

Later when

We stopped to rest

My lady placed her head upon my chest

Where she plucked hairs through my string vest

Tho eventually when more upright sat, she blamed the Velcro in her floppy hat

Author's Note

No hairs were harmed during the making.......

"Summer Dress String Vest and Floppy Hat"
Neville Pettitt,
A rich poem with rich fun! Why not enjoy the brilliance therein of beautiful summer day with the one you love...extravagance of life here. "The price tag on her brand new summer dress" just speaks of a cut loose and relax attitude about life. Lovely word choice too; "Brulee chased huge dragonflies across those brilliant turquoise weekend skies." And this lady is clever to place the responsibility where it belongs: "she blamed the velcro in her floppy hat." Cute as can be! I smiled my way through this darling poem!
Nice to read
Blessings.
Kathy

I enjoyed the virtual spectacle
Of your depilated pectoral
Just remember that you never show
Your hirsute regions to uncovered Velcro.

I loved this. A cool, fun poem with great visuals. Not only do your words paint a picture of the summer afternoon, but your 'descending staircase' stanzas make it just as fun to look it. Good job with this one.

[Neville]

How very kind indeed my friend, much appreciated, I can tell ya............................Neville

Something damn painful about pulling hairs.
Actually, why are women allowed to carry tweezers?
It's like they can spot a stray hair half a mile away.
Wonder if any guys have got their girlfriends arrested over this barbaric practice.

[Neville]

No idea, might just go & consult my follicle....

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, be glad they weren't nose hairs she was pulling!

[Neville]

Who nose what might be next tho!! Cheers Kelly, your empathy is much appreciated

[Kelly Scheppers]

My pleasure, Neville!

[Neville]

Ta very much but the pleasure is mine...

[barleygirl]

This is how it's done -- capturing those precious everyday moments & delivering them with a ton of sensory delights. I felt the whole scene as if I were the one receiving (((NUGS))) from breeze-fluttering chest fur . . . *ahhhh!* You're killing me! Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

You m'dear are, we say over here, far too generous by half......But y'know I like it don'tcha and I am so glad you like this little nug et........Neville

[barleygirl]

Was it really two years ago when I first read this? It sounds so familiar, it seems like I just read it a month ago now . . . and you know my bad memory! This one sparkles right thru the fog! (((RIPS))) Fondly, Margie

[Wild Rose]

That's women for you
They enjoy (Pulling your hairs)
But find some other reason
instead of saying outright > I just liked the feeling (annoying you)

[Neville]
