i finally took out the dress and
wore it
it was a beautiful evening
and i didn’t think there was any point in waiting
any longer
why waste a dress
why waste a life
why waste a waist that fits into a size three
i wore it with heels and silver earrings
but i didn’t dance

The thoughts that spin around in ones head
after reading this...
Now in fat clothes myself, but I could’ve showed up
in a killer suit that day

If the music is playing something that makes you move, than enjoy.
~~why waste a dress
why waste a life
why waste a waist that fits into a size three~~

Absolutely! I love dressing up for absolutely no reason! I mean, I don't go shopping at the local grocery store in a ball gown, but you catch my drift
I sense a deeper meaning to the "waste" here; it's more painful to me than it comes across on the surface. Maybe my mood
Enjoyed this though!

I really wish I could hug you. Your poetry moves me to the core. So simply written, yet never simple in content or thought or emotion. You are a true talent.

Beautiful. This reminds me of some of my own "meaningful" clothes. I love how the title relates to the poem without the poem saying anything about feelings or memories - it's all just about wearing a dress to a dance... but there's so much more feeling behind every single word. I love how the last line makes such an impact without a single big word. Simplicity and emotion combined, at their best. You need to be a true poet to pull that off. Nice.

Exceptional. What a wonderful mind picture you paint!

WHAT??? and why not?
i just want to say... go get 'em. it seems like the good things are always being held onto for the 'special' occasions. i remember my mom once took china and these crystal glasses and i set the table for dinner with them asking her who was coming. she told me 'why should we wait for others to enjoy the nice china when those she loved the most would eat on paper plates?' she wanted us to have the best she could offer. that stuck with me, even though at the time i answered her with...' ummm... because i dont have to do the dishes if we eat off paper?' ... yep, i got that 'mother look' from her, too. lol.
this made me think of that, though. why wait? pull out those dresses and feel good in them. no need to waste time, but come on... you gotta dance next time

amazing end lines, too

When you have a waist that fits a size three, you should make that dress swirl and spin! What a great way to put something to rest ... give its dream a new life!
-
I like the 'took out' - made the putting away, the back story, part of the poem. Sad. You should have danced up a storm.
-
Good for you, and may I say...
You look fabulous darlin. winks.
I love the 'screw you' attitude, that's my girl.
