Poem Red Lipstick

Here is my latest whimsical poem for your review. My lipstick is too bright at the best of times, so I decided to write a poem about it.

 

 

Red Lipstick

I shall wear too much red lipstick today.

I’m going to splash in puddles and sing in the rain.

The hills are alive with the Sound of Music.

I shall wave at the boats, leaving the estuary.

And collect my oyster shells to make necklaces. I’m a bit crafty you see.

I shall use my favourite word today – panacea.

And if you think I am being verbose – See ya.

I shall stand up for myself and be as cheeky as a pup.

I will do my silly walk to cheer myself up.

I shall assert myself. NO, is a complete sentence.

Why are you being such an unbelievable menace?

I shall practice my pointless dolphin impression.

And in my car, scream out my frustrations.

No catastrophizing or ruminating for me.

I shall wear a moustache ice cream from Scrumdiddly.

I will meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same.

I will wear garish clothes and be mutton dressed as lamb. 

I will tell silly jokes and not give a care

How many ears did Dr. Spock have?

Three.

The left ear, the right ear, and the final front ear.

Slow down snails crossing, I will chalk on my local park path.

I never achieve much when I scurry and dash.

Free swallow aerial display at 4 pm today;

Will also be chalked to remind folk to notice them feeding and at play.

My Dementors and fear can take a run and a jump.

I have lived too much; I have no cares left. NONE.

I’ll still be kind and help where I can,

But I will no longer dim my light, for anyone as I am my superwoman.
