DULY NOTED By Kathryn Tate Jacoby, www.PoetryPoem.com/poetessktj Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
You wore your polka dot bow tie
and your bright green corduroy shirt.
When I asked you if you were sure that
was what you were wearing,
worrying you'd be embarrassed…
…scratch that -
worrying I'D be embarrassed,
you smiled…
"It's Christmas," you said.
Unabashedly you made your entrance;
a bold soul, embracing the room
with your individuality
and everyone smiled
or laughed,
or shouted
"Merry Christmas!"
And you caught my eye,
winking and mouthing the words,
BE BOLD
Duly noted.
