Heavy purple lady
sequined skirt dragging dust mites from yesterday's floorboards,
fur scarf wrapped and bound,
parasol erect and proud to keep away April's sun beams.
A lady!
Oh! What diamonds lay between her folds of wool and flesh?
What demons hide beneath the crawling crinoline?
This poem was written in response the the April 2 RWP prompt about Acronyms. we were asked to choose an acronym with the letters RWP. I chose Random Weird Person. It was easy to find inspiration, having just been to Manhattan.
