Partly Paisley

I saw this prompt and it made me think of my mother.  It was the sixties and she was dressed to go to a party and  as I watched her get ready, I thought she was so beautiful.

I am little

And the world is

Full of 
Wonder.

Wonder like a
Velvet Jacket,

Partly Paisley.

A crepe skirt

Floaty and airy.


I run my fingers 

Down the sleeve

Give in to the
Elemental urge

Lay my cheek 

Against the softness

To lean against

A swirly skirt

Light and dreamy

Dancing around me,

A Measured meter,
 
I am

Lost in the folds

of the thing,

little arms
 wrap around

strong legs,

Walking now in

Silky stockings.

Her hand touches my hair,

She smiles

Turns back

To the mirror.

Prompt words: Elemental, Walk, Meter
