A Woman's Mind

11-9-09

The party is tonight

I look in despair

My dress doesn’t fit right

I need to fix my hair

 

I look in despair

My make-up is all-wrong

I need to fix my hair

Why is it taking me so long

 

My make-up is all-wrong

Everyone is waiting

Why is it taking me so long

This whole thing I’m hating

 

Everyone is waiting

My dress doesn’t fit right

This whole thing I’m hating

The party is tonight

This is a gem beyond description. No better way to capture the horrific thought process of the female while she gets ready for a party than a pantoum. Brilliantly crafted! And perfectly tuned to the absurd. Absolutely fantastic!! Well done!

great poem. I like the way you wrote this to give the reader a woman's perspective.
