Musings by The Poet Loriet
D-Day
something old
something new
something borrowed
something blue
that's what i'll wear
to divorce court
to undo the spell
i've been under
my "old"
lucky black boots
so i feel
sexy like
kicking a@@
"borrowed" strand
of pearls
from my daughter
so i think of her
and remember
why i have
to be strong
sparkly "blue" earrings
my favorite color
cerulean blue
"borrowed" from my past
seafoam green sweater
baby soft "new"
with white flowers
embroidered purity
femininity
a woman's worth
flare-legged
stylish "new"
grey pants
comfortable
but hip
to greet
the "new" world
and sentimental,
I wear Grandma's
"old" ruby ring she
willed to me
when i was
counting out
her pills
one day
and she said,
"Lori, you know...
the value of sentiment.
You understand.
I want you
to have my ring."
i'm ready now
to face my demons
send them back to hell
where they belong
i'm taking my past
my present
hopes
for my future
with me today
wish me luck
