Amy

for Totally Optional Prompts

Blond hair cascades down a graceful neck,
Amy strolls through a foreign market
testing, sampling, greeting the curious.
Blond hair's been on display before,

she's a special case, the curious
are on display too. Blond hair
cascades into a dust storm,
the curious pick through the bones.

A good hearted cross dresser says
make sure you get paid enough
to really want the job.

That final stanza ...

Hah...an interesting poem. Like Zarafa, the first giraffe, we can be labelled curious creatures. Either you blend into the crowd or you stand out. And some have no choice, but to stand out because that is who they are.

My piece is not so clever. It is a Senyru about a beautiful african and it is posted at my place:

Hi Mike, Just for the record - I really like this poem and have been thinking about it all week - very cleverly done!
