P.S. for serenity

"She was changeable, set in her ways and moody,"

I saw riddle of description,
identifying sides, facets? To this
exposé of a woman
whose husky voice quite possibly
is mimicked, unknowingly,
by a poet imitating life…

Mimics imitating moods,
don’t you see us as we are?

Mercurial natures are akin to artists
of any kind, be they
writer, painter, grouter of patterns
which structure our lives;

dancer, singer, teller of tales…

She was changeable, set in her ways and moody.

How can one be set in any way, yet changing,
or should that, could that
be, changeling?

Frances looks over my shoulder,
she has taken Rainer’s place, he is now
on the window ledge;

but both are whispering
that Peggy Sue needs a new life,
a reason to kick down the door
and let her moodiness show

and I laugh, a bit hysterically, perhaps,
as the pen point skips beneath my fingertips
in anxious need,

anticipation notwithstanding,

that while they understand me?

They have yet
to wear my slippers.

For a second there I thought I was NEKKID!!!

and yanno? I guess I am, as we all are...we're born that way, and like a child who covers his eyes and thinks himself invisable, we go through life smugly convinced we've got everybody fooled.

Not a chance.

and btw, Peggy Sue, I saw THIS, and I am still cracking up over the truth I found in it:

Come to N'awlins, lady.

gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Karilea, I have to give you A+++ for your insight and lovely verse. Although I haven't met either one of you, I certainly think you've got her pegged pretty well....and I really enjoyed this....made me smile.

But when the slippers don't fit...
Perhaps new ones will...

Nicely done...and some neat comments too. KJ
