Lady

peto

The lady floated with the lamp

Attended to a jaundiced tramp

He slipped away despite her stamp 

She fell upon her knees

 

She stumbled on in laddered tights

The nip that comes from working nights 

A mountain view and fear of heights 

She fell upon her knees 

 

With love she had a rocky ride

Her so called beau is super snide 

Another dent in fading pride

She fell upon her knees 

 

A star that twinkles  lost full beam

A nap replaced her wildest dream 

A ninja of the silent scream 

She fell upon her knees 

 

The lady found some space to think 

A brand new notepad pleads for ink

Discarding every fear and kink

She rose up from her knees

    Hi Peto , I really like your writing .. like how you have started the poem wjth mention of the lady and the lamp as if this lady has a nice caring energy to her

    Especially like the ending verse

    The lady found some space to think
    A brand new notepad pleads for ink
    Discarding every fear and kink
    She rose up from her knees

      That brand new notebook made her rise. Perfect. Not even afraid of the blank page. Nice write hood read

      PS/- I’m on my fifth reference book and an no closer to deciphering those ladder pants. I mean they gotta be better than a shirt skirt but that’s all I got.??

        Thank you Bobby
        Tights are hosiery, similar to stockings
        Panty hose
        When torn they tend to look like a ladder
        Appreciated as always
