"Rosemary Bottoms" sculpted by artist Nancy Cuttle

Ms. Rosemary
by Linda L. Dowd

She’ll get the bottle,
~ If a man's got the thyme.
She’ll spew out epithets,
Then spout a sweet rhyme.

Her bottom is broader,
Than a barn filled with hay.
She’s a wannabe siren,
Who loves naughty play..

She preens in the sunshine,
But she’s her best at night.
As she sashays down streets,
~ What a comical sight!

She is friendly to all,
~ Especially to men.
She loves their attention,
~ That little brood hen!

She titters and teases,
Dropping men to their knees.
Then they’re off to her garden,
For ‘birds and the bees’!

~

So good to read you again, dear Linda Angelo Terrestre!

I think you caught the essence of that sculpted portrait perfectly!! Amazing, actually!

She is ALIVE in your words.

Congratulations for this very special work, also to your artist friend!

Linda my dear, you wrote it well although

Ms Rosemary sounds a bit naughty to me,
delightfully naughty that is,

Where have you been lately, we have all missed you.  love.

excellent write (as always)...my favorite line:
"Her bottom is broader,
Than a barn filled with hay"

loved the inspiration...my problem would be my neighbor's...they've got a Goofy on display...I am only limited by talent and the lack of my neighbor's taste

There's something about this dear gal so endearing
That keeps all the hot blooded fellas a leering
I can't go to sleep due to all of the noise
She makes in the garden with all of the boys

And it gets real old going out to do gardening
And seeing the ground is not all that is hardening
But that's not the worst of the matter you see
'Cause tawdry Ms. Rosemary's married to me


Delightful write Linda. Where'd you meet my wife? Take care and Have fun. Steve

M'dear, I highly doubt that you would be limited in talent in anything that you set out to do! With that said, I must admit that that sassy little Rosemary provided me with more inspiration than goofy Goofy would!

I'd say "you have a way with words as well" ~ not only in  your poetry but in your responses to the poems of others!

Hmmm, if Rosemary were to know about you, she'd be asking me for your email addy! ~ and your phone # and address if I happened to know it! lol
