She entered the cemetery,
And ran a finger
Casually
Along the top of a tombestone
As she passed.
The chill night air
Blew back her short red dress,
Blew through her long red hair,
As she lifted her face
To the full moon
And smiled.
She stepped over
A tipped and broken headstone.
Stopped at the next,
A pristine marker,
And sat
Her shapely bottom down.
She pulled off her heels,
Stood
Throwing the shoes aside
And danced.
smiles. nice write...i think i could dance as well....i like the unexpected....
ReplyDeleteMe 2 Brian. I was quite surprised that she...danced.
ReplyDeleteHey you guys! Read down to that little delight entitled 'Love' and you will see "And we are left,/ Wondering where to hide the bodies" the couple 'hid the bodies' away from prying eyes!
ReplyDeleteMust have been good to prompt a return for a celebratory dance!
She danced?? Well, good for her! Love that surprise ending!

Very nicely constructed. The sudden undercutting of expectation in the last two-word verse is beautifully handled.
ReplyDeleteThank you all (and, um...I don't really have any bodies to hide, just the usual skeletons in the closet :o)
