I keep threatening Sacha that I am going to have a go at her Writespiration Challenge but have been a bit scared due to the high calibre of the other writers that participate. However, I decided to jump on in any way, especially as she has dared us to participate this week with the protagonist being LGBT character. Here goes!
The reflection in the mirror
Told her that she looked just great
The look she had put together
Was just perfect for a date.
The hair so sleek and stylish
The skirt above the knee
The sassy high-heeled sling backs
And the skimpy little tee
She had waited for this moment
For far too many years
Hiding her true feelings
Giving in to all her fears.
Finally she took the plunge
To make her dreams come true
She felt as though she was reborn
And her life could start anew
She sprayed a little perfume
As she walked outside the door
This time as a woman
Not the man she had been before.
I bloody loved this Judy. I can’t believe you were ever intimidated. Your poem is phenomenal. More than. Geoff is right, you write beautifully and just as well as anyone else i know. I am honoured you participated. ❤
