reflecting resplendently
three tiered gypsy skirt
beckoned to me to yard sale.
a gem amongst the junk
I twirled it in my hands
wrapped it around me
tiny bells tinkled merrily
and I was totally sold
buying it instantly
I retreated jauntily
felt someone pulling at me
begging for the skirt
angrily I turned back
ready refusal on my lips.
no words came out of me
"I gave it away with no second thoughts
at the fag end of her career,
Madonna needed it than I did"

Very interesting ending.:)
this is such a ... a ... I can't find the word I want. Onomatopoaeic poem. Love it.
Would be a great rock-song.
Best wishes

Woohoo that rocks in so many ways, dancing with the belles and the bellies lol
kinda cute
Very nice with the Madonna ending!
*lol* I could kinda see Madonna and you fighting over the skirt. I could see the scene unfolding as the poem went on. Charming. Good write.
Love the twist at the end. Perfect.
wonderful ending--I can see the whole scene!!
Don't give in to her!! :-)
I like the irony involved in simply punctuation choice, specifically the quotation marks in your last stanza.
What is that retelling hiding?!
Ditto on the ending...quite clever.
Clever, clever!!
Clever indeed...
With a touch of whimsy.
You've got the greatest imagination! What a treat this poem is!
Yes, quite imaginative!
Madonna needed it (more) than I did! What a great ending!!
