by the third drink

they’re reapplying their lipstick,

balancing their wit and equilibrium

on stiletto heels.

Very funny and so true, you forgot the eye lashes. They fall off

[andrew mitchell]

Wit and alcohol would be the ideal elixir for muscle relaxation which would bring forth the acrobatic turn of events on stiletto heels but the catch is ….if you fall hopefully the prince will catch his princess or at least join her in the fall.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, I like your version, Andrew. Thank you!

[Scott Kris]

Is it the wit or the equilibrium in need of balancing? Ha.
That’s why I drink alone. 🤪🤣

[Kelly Scheppers]

Good point, Scott. I think it may be a little bit of both! Thank you so much for your inquisitive response.

[JC]

I'm digging your haiku, zen like poems, straight to the point and say so much. I could feel the intoxication and the battle to stay semi conscious, the dance we all perform in bars around the world.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, JC. Welcome to my page!

[John the Baptist]

Well, some can hold their liquor better than others. But even stone cold sober, how can anyone stay balanced on stiletto heels?

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, I wrote this purely from an objective point of view. Being 5'11"myself, I can assure you I am clueless! They're very high fashioned though, very couture and sexy...you must admit!

[Ciara]

And they do it so well too
The stilettos are like our power tools against men.
I prefer my Doc's but stilettos make me feel instantly sexier when I wear them.

[Kelly Scheppers]

"...the stilleto's are like our power tools against men." I like the way you think, Ciara. Thank you! I agree with your every word!

[Brad Dehler]

Very nice fanciful poem about the female side of the bar scene. Well done :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Brad! There's a mate to this one, btw!

[Brad Dehler]

"A mate" yes indeed!

Hello, Kelly,
I read this and enjoyed it several weeks ago, but apparently did not leave a review. It conjures so many images of the humor, anticipation, excitement, nervousness, tension and energy of an evening in a bar in just a few perfect lines. Your ability to communicate so richly in brief poems is both intimidating and entrancing; much like a 5’-11” woman in stiletto heels. 😉

[Kelly Scheppers]

I had the biggest smile on my face reading this...then a chuckle when I got to the height reference! Thank you so much for the compliment, Richard...and for making my day!

[Richard Knox]

You are welcome, Kelly. I've always been a pushover for tall women, especially when they wear heels.

[Carola]

again a very succinct poem kelly.
i've never been to a bar, don't think I've missed anything!
cheerio carola

Kelly,

I'm always so impressed with how you compress so much into so little space. A real talent, serious talent.
Thanks for sharing it.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Much appreciate that, Winston, more than you know! Thank you!
