Appearances


I peek around the corner to see if she's coming my way
making sure I'm prim and proper, awaiting a day
When love comes to find me
Never thinking I have to meet it half way

My clothes are cleaned and pressed
My shoes are brightly shined
My teeth, gargled, and brushed
My smile practiced in the mirror.

I'm ready

And when it doesn't come
and it seems all hope is lost
Appearances are dropped
I can no longer afford the cost,
The preparation,
when anticipation's lost

Anyway, my thought for the day

The death from getting old........ is to stop trying.
As one weighs the reasons, determines the need, see's the folly.
It doesn't matter
Life is not fair, we make that so
Life is not the destination, but the journey
A journey which only requires a step.

Beautiful poem Jiminy. Even though no-one who eats quietly has come to find me yet, I still gargle and do pedicures just in case. lol

perfect..

There's still hope for you! LOL

I'm not so lucky.
I can't imagine what a woman would think checking out my toenails

Not to mention all the fallout... (hair, teeth, and belly)
and the radio activity, when I just hear it and begin to dance.

Stick a fork in me......... As if I already haven't.... and you can't tell by my wasted lines. lol

Jiminy...if I saw you in the street (dressed in anything) I'd invite you for coffee and pick your brain!

I like the poem, it's quite profound!
