She was probably in her thirties But still had a tomboy look about her And eyes that seemed to have seen more Than they wanted to remember about men Yet still tried half smiles when Her mouth made an upturned sweep Of plastered pleasant greeting. It was after all her job. One she’d been doing to make ends Tie to other ends affording her a place to sleep Last years off the rack designs That showed her assets to their best advantage And provided men like me with hints Of how she might have wrestled for fun As a kid. I grinned back When she asked if we had met before Knowing we hadn’t But glad she asked |

I'm so fascinated by the little things that often go unnoticed...must be why that applies to your poetry as well. Of all the things in me I could never be, |

Good Morning, Ron...Your eyes take in a lot more then what you see on the outside...not everyone can do that..makes for a captivating poem. |

I love the way I can actually see these women you write about. The way you make so visual without description, really...I don't know how to put it. It takes me in. |

And eyes that seemed to have seen more Than they wanted to remember about men Yet still tried half smiles when Her mouth made an upturned sweep Of plastered pleasant greeting. It was after all her job. I like it, I like it!! You couldn't have got any closer to hitting the nail on the head. It's all in a days work!! Nice writing you. |

Cpt...this poem is absolutely awesome! Your imagery is so vivid that I could practically reach out and be her... and I can see that big grin sweeping right across your face... and I've never even seen your face! copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
