Some little girl wants a straw fedora
just like my little girl who is becoming
such a big girl
posing in front of the mirror
checking out her coming curves
in an Old Glory bikini
not even on clearance,
but more than 50% off.

Ah... maybe the straw fedora works better still.. wonderfully painted.
The feelings of a parent are shown here masterfully!
~~ just you wait! Smiles and a knowing wink here. Such a sweet poem ....
In just a few lines, you never fail to slay me...
(!) Great snapshot of life moving quickly.
Beautiful portrait.
Oh I want Baby Puppy to stay little! LOL. But I can see her in front of the mirror, already full of dreams. Sigh. A gorgeous poem.
Always enjoy reading your poems...you have a knack of capturing precious meaningful moments succinctly and wisely :)
fedoras have always had a poetic quality to them. Nicely written!
You have captured an ephemeral moment and pinned it down, if only temporarily.
Motherhood over time here in the reflection which looks like a little girl no more, the matter-of-fact observations shopping for a deal.
Oh boy, do I ever relate to the sentiment expressed here!
I would say any decent bikini is about 80% off! Love the Old Glory here and the whole thing, thanks, MZ. k.
