_nothing to wear

Knee deep in words and nothing to wear

my mind's closeted vault is overrun,
I donn'd a few petty metaphors but they had tears
a simile wrapped around my neck made me choke
wing tip'd stiletto verbiage on my painted toes
and proper paisley poesy adjectives in my hair,
still not ready to go out on the cafe
if I only knew where I left that damn'd silken sonnet
     sigh  oh brother, another night of naked poetry...

No, no, no, this will never do. You are getting married tomorrow, remember? Find that box of chantilly lace adjectives and throw in some sensual syntax and get the show on the road, Frieda! :) The metaphor here is absolutely brilliant. Loved it. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

Ha and where is everyone, I'm waiting!! Thanks Lydikey.

[Lydia Shutter]

Vinnie had his friend Pauly pay off the limo driver and now they are fighting about who is gonna pick you up! LOL

[Frieda P]

HAHA oh it figures...that damn Vinnie, I knew he'd screw it up!

[Lydia Shutter]

Yea, he has lotsa class, most of it low! LOL

[Frieda P]

Ha exactly, that's why I broke up with his arse.......LOL

[Lydia Shutter]

ROFL thanks for the laughs, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Don't be silly Frieda...Your poem is the perfect thing to wear.

[Frieda P]

Ha thanks ron, you know no matter what a girl never has the right thing to wear. :-)

[ron]

That is what I have been told. Well it's not what you wear it is what is inside that I really care about.

[Frieda P]

Awh, sweet sentiment ron.....you're a cutie. :-)

[ron]

-blushing- :-)

[MsJewel]

You have a stellar imagination Frieda. I just love the way your mind works. You can write about anything even when you can't find the words...A true poet. I admire you!

:) Julie

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your kind words, you humble me Julie...love the new pic~! :-)

[MsJewel]

Thank you Frieda!

[Purplerose]

Very cool. We all run out of things to write or say at times. Then all come flooding back you can't write faster than I your mind thinks. LOL!!!!!

[Frieda P]

Ha true that, thanks again Purplerose!

Somehow Poetry has reached its pinnacle of vulgarity and expression though sometimes poets and conscious writers can still choose to present their thoughts and intended motives incognito. I like your idea of being mindful of how your piece is going to look and perceived by your audience and readers. For my side...simplicity is more than good enough . Tell it like it is and Come as you are ...

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your insightful review Neil, much appreciated.

I could so easily go off you, missus. Every day you create a wonder, whether beautiful, romantic, spiritual, funny, intense, harmonic.. whatever.. it's so darned brilliant. ' if I only knew where I left that damn'd silken sonnet ~ sigh oh brother, another night of naked poetry...' Hey, is that what's called bare-faced cheek!?

[Frieda P]

You're too good to me Auntie Agony, thanks so much petulia, pinky's up and all that jazz! x

[Lyn Anderson]

How I love your poetry, including the ones you write about writing.

[Frieda P]

Awh you made my afternoon lady.

Seems ready to me - you dressed this perfectly, Frieda - clever, clever wordplay!

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Rita!

[Pryde Foltz]

Can totally relate to this one. Clever, playful and a little self-mocking.

[Frieda P]

that's me, ha, thanks Pryde..........
