Cryptic Lipstick Poem by Stevie Taite

Cryptic Lipstick

Rating: 3.9


Some poems are simplistic
They don't wear cryptic
lipstick
They never try to force it
If the words don't fit their corset
They may don a facade
But they never try too hard!
They're not as flat as pancakes
They are natural and are not fakes
Some work it trips and crashes
If it's wearing false eyelashes
'up do's ' can look pretentious
Wear it messy, be adventurous
It would lose all of its passion
If all poems followed fashion
Whether free flow, prose or rhyme
Wear it your way, it's looks fine

I've always preferred the natural look, the natural feel of free form verse- of fashion and makeup, i don't make a fuss, your hair is fine, .and.no, you don't look a mess. Ah, those shoes with that dress, a little less rouge, that lipstick's nice, and it goes with your purse. I can be honest and open with what you got on...You're beautiful in anything you wear, or put on. But I preferr your words naked and raw...To rhyme, or not to rhyme? I simply don't care. Your Ink has captured my heart and invaded my soul- Write on Stivie Taite! You're on such a Roll. ; -) Kelly.

Very nice-I love messy poems! The heart is messy and if a poem is a reflection of the heart than it should be too. This reminds me to let my hair down, loose and undone.

The revision fits in very smoothly with the rest. Nice work. I know how frustrating the editing process can be.
