Little Black Dress

 

Getting older is getting old

Sadness and heartbreak

Countless nights alone

Self-imposed exile reaching an end

Starting right now

Getting back in the game

Going out tonight

Celebrating the New Year

Dressed to kill

A head turning, future heartbreaker

In a little black dress

Slit way up the side

Teasing the eye that follows the cut

Sexy well toned legs

Encased in silky thigh high stockings

Strappy black sandals with two inch heels

Blond hair hanging sleekly

Down a smooth bare back

Name sake lingerie keeping a secret

Smiling now as she looks in the mirror

Seeing a reflection of the women she once was

And knowing that is the women she still is

Getting older is really not so bad

Laughing as she walks out the door

Rocking a little black dress

2008 is going to be a good year

I’ll be damned she giggles

Victoria Lee is back

Thanks to the magic

 of a

little black dress

 

Happy New Year!

I love a poem with attitude. I love a spirit positive. I need a mirror like the one you've got. Mine just says, dude, you're getting old, stop tucking your shirts in. :-D

In all seriousness, another excellent poem.

[Casanova]

[Annette Lemma]

First of all...

LITTLE BLACK DRESSES are the single most INCREDIBLE thing I've ever been around. The reaction of fans, and foes as well, make the little black dress a MUST-HAVE if you're trying to get ya game tight again.

I could tell a story about a little black dress that I once knew. Hell, it'd probably be a novel!!!

Great, confident way to begin 2008! Keep it up!

I love this and thank you for this! There are so many times in a womans life when she could take inspiration from this poem! You took us from your feelings of sadness and self conciousness to your recognition of your sexiness, your vitality, your beauty! When you feel that way it really does emanate from you...it draws people to you. A face looks prettier with a smile... more open and accepting. this poem means so much to me...I am gushing a response and not making sense, but your piece did make sense to me.

Phew!
I loved it!

I think every woman's closet should have something that they feel makes them look stunning. A little black dress or blue dress or whatever they like. We all need to go out once and awhile and remind ourselves that getting older isn't getting uglier and that even mothers and grandmothers can still wow the guys with their little black dress.
