Cages and bars –
Cocktails swimming under diamond mirrors,
Cages and bars –
Rattling against glistening mascara eyes,
Cages and bars –
Dancing hips hypnotising every glance,
Cages and bars –
Crying through baby blushing cheeks,
Cages and bars –
Tuxedo creatures erupting in camera flashes,
Cages and bars –
Clawing at the lock of sewn sensuous lips,
Screaming behind irons, swivelling blond curls
Around her neck, left popping pretty pearls.

This is old but perhaps one poem from my teenage years which doesn’t make me bury my head in my hands.
Great imagery!

I didn’t begin writing poetry seriously until I was in my mid-thirties. You are a strong writer. Don’t ever stop, darlin.

Thank you! I am gutted I stopped for quite a while until 20/21 and here I am again. I just have to remember I have so many years ahead and so much to learn; the stuff I see on my Reader is just incredible. ❤️

I’m a literary writer by nature. I am floored daily by the poets on WP. I learn new perspectives on life, and social topics because these writers are so intelligent, and kind. This is a great community to be a part of, and I’m thankful every day for the encouragement I receive, and the words I read. You’re a lovely young writer. You will grow so much. And I look forward to reading more of you. ❤
