'Attitude'

By christy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Just standing there blowing smoke rings without a care in the world; cigarette dangling between chipped nails and daisies in her eyes. She breathed contented sighs. Weathered sandals strapped on her feet to match her ratty bag; she takes another drag, cuz life to her is sweet. A smile plays on her lips, and there's a lightness in her stride, for life is just a ride and she's ready for the trip. Written December 20th, 2001 © on Dec 20 2001 03:17 AM PST   0 • 10
