Redheads.

Lazy red flashes of shimmer, and zoom,
when snap shots are prefaced, and opportunity looms,
lift her up, and sweep down with furious curiosity!
Study we will, she’s so daft, but thoughtful,
picking pockets or hearts, without acting the damsel.
She lives as a drifter, petty and plain,

...but one song long loved,
as seen that one fine day.

Graceful and witty, she surprised us,
springing forth layered in ironic hidden beauty.
Alarmed we staggered, questioning dogmas,
who was this hidden vessel of unimaginably sexy drama?
Probed, even poked, smelled and sniffed,
we wonder for ages, how we could miss.

...Those lovely red shimmering and flashing’s zoom to my memory, you know she’s got the greatest hair. Come to think of it, I think we like more and more each day, such calamity to have let this all go astray.

Author's Note

This one was sloppy, quickly written, and hardly formatted for public view, but still a personal favorite.

It created a picture in my mind, but it was flashes and blurs. Interesting and lovely, I like it.

I'm a redhead myself, and I thought this was really good :)
