A flowing black skirt
that feels like a whisper
around my ankles
where it fades to grey.
The shawl I knitted
matches the color of my ribbed cotton top
all aqua and fluff.
My sandals are comfortable
but the Turquoise stones vamp them up a notch
along with coral toe nails.
I apply a light foundation,
midnight mascara and kohlto my eyes, a touch of gloss

Lovely, Judy! You and your words.
Poetry is important to the speaker in this poem. I like it!
You sound quite lovely in your costume. I hope you enjoyed the reading.
Not me and no reading, Peggy. Just thought I'd use my imagination. :)
I love this Judy, a wonderful image.
beautiful and i love the costume sounds pretty
Such a lovely image, Judy. I guess now you have your outfit all set for your next poetry reading!
Beautiful - and the concept of the outfit as costume intrigues. What costume befits a poet...hm...You picked a lovely one.
At the poetry reading who will care what is said when you present yourself as you describe! I loved it.
The clothing seems to fit the poet AND the occasion! Hope it was enjoyable.
Lovely, the poem has great details, very interesting.
Don't get it (Oprah) but glad you love it so much. Equate it to selling a car and the pleasure I get from that. Isn't it wonderful to have a passion in life !?
