~ I want to skydive in red stilettos

I want to skydive in red stilettos

take a leap off the wild side,

sip Chateau Lafite & Margaux

whilst driving 100 mph,

wind blown tresses

in a vintage Lamborghini,

cruise on the Rising Sun

in the south of France

sunbathe naked on the sands

of an Italian villa's shores,

take a cool dip in luscious 

champagne bubbles 

 at the Fontana di Trevi,

dance a sultry tango amidst 

a moonlit Brazilian jungle,

have my spirit soar

in sheer delirium

yet, 

more than anything at all ~

I want to love

 with all the fire & soul 

in my heart

Oh I how I love these poems....I have wrote a few myself and I know how much fun they are and at the same time courageous to put them out there...which is why I don't share mine...big chicken....but not you my new friend...Love your style. This is beautiful and daring, feminine and strong. Great work!

[Frieda P]

Oh c'mon Pat, put on your big girl pants and publish them! ;)

[Patricia]

LMAO.... I know, right? There was a local poetry club that I use to be in and it was led by a semi-retired Lit professor and he just loved me and I adored him. However, he use to push me out of comfort zone and make assignments that really challenged me, and the things I wrote I still haven't shared but maybe two of them on my blog a long time ago. I really didn't have a choice because if you skipped challenges more than three a year you were booted because he did this in his spare time and didn't waste time on people who weren't serious. So he waited until I missed two challenges and made the next challenge a poem about masturbation...LOL OMG! So I did one and maybe one day I will share that one. It is tasteful of course and at least I did it but it took me over a week and it is a simple poem but I had such a hard time with it.

[Frieda P]

HA now that's brave! After that, you should be able to let anything fly..... ;)

[Patricia]

LOL You would think?

[Frieda P]

Hey it's only us, and we won't tell. ;P

[Patricia]

OK I will share it sometime this week ... well I will try anyway :)

[Frieda P]

Pfft and tush, just do it girlfriend! ;)

[Patricia]

:) You got it!!!!! Next time I share I will post it. But if it sucks be kind LOL

[Frieda P]

If it sucks I don't usually comment, my momma taught me to keep my big trap shut if I have nothing nice to say, not as though I ever listened though. haha

[Patricia]

LOL I know I was told the same but it didn't stick but you can comment all you want good or bad ...I can take criticism or I wouldn't be here.

[Frieda P]

There's a difference between critiquing a poem and saying it sucks, I'll tell you that in private haha

[Patricia]

OK you got a deal :)

[Michael Stevens]

Very powerful and excellent, Frieda; and I personally wouldn't recommend skydiving in red stilettos, unless you get a parachute that goes with red; then it would be okay; it wouldn't do to look like a dork!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Michael, jazz'd you enjoyed, ha...don't pick on my shoes!

[Michael Stevens]

Would I do that? I myself enjoy wearing them--err--never mind!

[Jimmy Osbourne]

skydiving is okay. I never liked it much. except when I did it. but now I'm deathly afraid of heights. read a quote this morning by seth godin. he said, instead of planning a vacation, plan a life that you don't have to escape from.

[Frieda P]

He doesn't know muchly about fantasizing does he? Thanks for peeking in.

[Spacecadet]

i absolutely love this! Not sure i can say anything that hasn't already been said, but I especially love the holiday-like feeling it has. Definitely pepped me up for what I hope will be one of my best summers yet. Have some travel planned out. Oh how I'd love to take a dip in champagne though ;)
Edgy, sexy and passionate poem, Frieda. Love it! :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Spacecadet! :)

[Shirlena]

Love, love Mick Hucknall he is one of my favorite blue-eyed soul singers and the poem is so continental. One of those "get away" poems, smart, refreshing and fun like, "just got paid" Friday night John, piece. I want it, got to have it in my library.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Shirlena, that's one helluva Frieday. ;)

[♔ CrownedDevil &#..]

Love the confidence in this poem, this inspires people to take chances/ risks once in a while. Whether it is for love, or something else. Nicely written Frieda. :-) :-D

Kaze~

[Frieda P]

Doing the happy dance, thanks muchly Kazie. :)

[♔ CrownedDevil ☾]

Your very welcome Frieda. :-) :-D

[Raymond Federle]

I'm sure I've got a dress around here that go fabulous with your shoes..... ;) Well done!

[Frieda P]

Ha now that I'd love to see! ;)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

skydiving in red stilettos, i would like to see that...

sunbathing naked on an italian shore...i promise i will look the other way...ha ha.

reckless abandon in this ...the kind we feel in youth and wish we could get back in older age when we are making our bucket lists.

[Frieda P]

Ah the bucket list gets longer as life gets shorter, thanks so much jacob.

[redzone]

Frieda, you knew I would love your wild abandoned desires. Not sure I will ever get the image of you sky diving in red stilettos cause I can see and feel your smiling laughter, hair whipping around .. beautiful. With all that your life has been through and meant you are more than able to love with all the fire and soul in your heart. And I know all would feel this in the way the earth moved!! I sure know i would. Guess it's too late to ask if I could dance with you huh? Or maybe be allowed to walk that beach you sunbathe? er .. ;0)
~~redzone

[Frieda P]

Ha that made me smile Curt, of course yes to the dance, just watch out for my shoes buddy. ;)

[redzone]

another reason not to use my phone to comment on your poems Frieda.. it should have read, "will never get the image of you skydiving in red stilettos out of my mind".. I just popped the cork on the Chateau Lafite & Margaux if you care to join me... I'll slow down so you can climb in my Lamborghini, red in honor of those stilettos... but buckle up cause this baby can travel light speed... luv ya Frieda.. ;0)

[Frieda P]

No problemo, I'm good at reading tween the lines pf phone text. ;) Woo...I'm so there hon, right back at ya. MWAH! x

[ღCloveღ]

Great write Frieda. It is so nice to step out of your comfort zone sometimes

[Frieda P]

Indeed it is, thanks Owlgirl.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I am game for all those things, when do we leave.
Seriously though, a great pep talk to inspire someone to take chances.

I truly believe the greatest chance we take is on love, but it also give=s us the biggest rush.

[Frieda P]

Ain't that the truth Dale...love is probably the biggest leap of all.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

and the greatest leap we can make, cause it is a leap of faith.
