Doing Laundry


Saturday afternoon,
feeling all filthy,
we twirled and spun
getting quite drenched,
then tumbled and rolled
around in our heat.
Afterwards, dried and beat,
we folded neatly into each other.

I really like your name.  I thought I'd just pop in and tell you that.

These short, concise poems have a lot to say! Welcome to Passions!

Welcome to Passions - Beware, though - You just might find yourself neglecting the laundry if  you hang around here too much...

I find the hamper half-full these days and rare do I wash a full load.  But that's okay.  There's new clothing out there somewhere for me.

Very clever little write...I love the premise...Welcome to Passions!

sp  

tried to write a letter
to tell you how I feel,
but all I kept on writing
was slipping on the tears from the day...
