Poetry in Motion

DIRTBAG

It's hard to be coiffed when I climb;

I broke seven nails on that last 5.9!

 

But don't pity me, it's not too bad:

The next day I lost

My fingerpads.

 

My shoes are a shade of dirty beige,

My Thai wrap leaked on them.

Who smells satay?

 

Now my toes are curled, instead of my hair,

And there's no deodorant like "Mountain Air."

 

The make-up's gone--chalk works just fine!--

What's more beautiful

Than being

Alpine!

Sweet!

[Sherri]

Thanks! Figured there'd be a few more out there who had experienced this transformation(or deterioration?) themselves...or seen it happen to someone they love. Can't stop progress, as they say!

[archenemy]

Fortunately, in my case, deteriorating to any lower stage is not possible.

 

Love your poem, captures the process perfectly!

thats great, maybe i see a poetry section developing. however i might add "spring water" as my choice deodorant

Now I'm blushing. Guess I still have some deteriorating to do.

That would be an interesting experiment, no doubt! By the way, what does Spring Water smell like? I'm thinking of switching. Love your puppy picture!

thanks, are those frogs? actually spring water may be a little harder to find than mountain air, which is much more readily available, it's just a bit more soothing to me. as for scent, that doesn't really matter, does it?

Great poem Sherri!

Thanks, E! What are you doing over here in the shallow end of the pool?

Yep, those are frogs. Teeny, tiny avatar frogs. Very zen. And, you're right about the scent, it doesn't matter. Long as it goes with satay.

Same reason you will find me in the children's section of the book store!

Thought that was you behind the Cat in the Hat. We should let our inner children play together sometime.

[Mos_Chillin]

Yes, yes. I think that is a wonderful idea!

[Sherri]

Yes, yes. I think that is a wonderful idea!

My inner child looks like this: , with glasses. Still wanna play?
