PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Dancing in scuffed glittered high heel shoes,

in a smoke filled room, blaring honky-tonk blues.

The bumps and the grind

can sometimes spellbind,

more often than not though, amuse.



No longer can makeup repair or erase

the blemishes, lines, the age of her face.

The gravity laws

creating the flaws,

make aging become commonplace.



She has a few fans, the men she’ll adore,

they treat her with dignity, begging for more,

but the catcalls and jeers,

now drown out the cheers,

and the laughter is hard to ignore.



It’s time to retire the scuffed glittered heels

for the G-string, and pasties have lost their appeal.

It’s a shame that this stripper

never wore the glass slipper

from a prince, so her heart might heal.
