This morning I was inspired to write a poem about skirts. I have always loved this famous work by Robert Lewis Stevenson. When my daughters were young and I read this to them, I remember acting it out for them. I put on a skirt and came walking out of my bedroom while reading it to them and told them to imagine I was wearing a flowing, victorian skirt!
Today I wrote my own poem as well!
Enjoy!!

Aunties Skirts
By: Robert Lewis Stevenson
Whenver Auntie moves around,
Her dresses make a curious sound;
They trail behind her up the floor,
And trundle after through the door.Skirt Splendor
by: Adrienne Freas
Enduring and Wise
Cascading liquid
Gilded in silk; tender, sincereHemmed in with grace
Dainty, soft and tender
Heaven's blanket of kindness
Delicate flowers abloom
The princess beckons her maidens "Come!"
Join in the dance;
Refine your golden glow!
Darn your stockings!
Polish your shoes!Bustle up your petticoats!
Amble in the garden;
Adorned in radiant beauty,
Femininity renewed!
