meandering dreamer
a loome for the weaver
she smokes the green reefer
with her espresso and creamer
lives near Pasadena
just past the ol’ dry cleaner
dressed with a demeanor
but never with the cheater
corner selling healer
beware the believer
jesus christ the seeker
revival for the reaper
waiting makes her meaner
if you want to please her
bring only kosher wieners
call it misdemeanor
napowrimo day 22. dVerse anapestic tetrameter. another challenging form, hoping i came close to…. one has to get creative and have fun most of all and learn a new form.
Love the lyrical Bob Dylan-like quality to this, and the gypsy character is just wonderfully drawn, with the whole neighborhood coming to life around her.
Wonderfully zany and enjoyable.
Loved it!
She sounds like a riot!
What a colourful character you’ve conjured up….or perhaps you’ve met her! Fun to read.
Street life in California, sounds about right. Her name isn’t Joni is it? Fun take on the prompt.
thank you dora.. loved this form tho’ challenging.. funny how she unfolded
thanks for stopping by…
im sure she’s a few ladies rolled into one livin on the streets of the valley
You not only ‘came close’ you went over the top in the best possible way!!!
A character so nicely drawn, a neighborhood delight!
thank you for the encouraging words and stopping by…
Oh, I love the description… I think I can see her barefoot in a tie-dye dress … well done.
