New Clothes.

She always wore jeans with holes
Never a reason for those clothes

 

I took her out to a local shop
Made her look good- no more mop

 

Mopped up her look she was sparkling
To me her smile was utterly gratifying

 

More jubilant life than I had ever seen
She looked as if she came from a dream

 

Brimming with new threads and seams
She never smiled brighter to me she beamed.

 

She wanted to pay me back 

But I told her she already had.

    Welcome to All Poetry~

    A nice poetic read in narrative. Bittersweet. The words are good. Some tweaking and a little more wrist on the ending would make read smoother.

    Thank you for a good entry! Warmly, CookieZeal
