In All Her Freckled Beauty

Pipi I remember when
you started wearing
high heals and silk dresses
with your long stockings
still in place
and from a distance
I though you were
another woman
but when I came in close
the freckles and the pigtails
and your beautiful smile
were still in style.
Still from that day forward
I knew that things had changed,
like a butterfly
silly young girls
transform into desirable
women right before your eyes,
learning how to kiss
and leaving hearts amiss,
like the artist that paints
the essence of you
and the poets that write
of a woman in longstockings
as sweet as you.

Roy Orbison wrote and sang a song about this vision in your poem subject: "Pretty Woman"

I think this is one of your best, James.
