A Song In The Front Yard Comments

I was a backyard girl with tomboy adventures. Would have preferred the front.

And I'd like to be a bad woman, too, And wear the brave stockings of night-black lace And strut down the streets with paint on my face. Beautiful mesmerizing! Such brilliant words. Congrats on being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day!

A very straightforward write well expressed.

A very honest poem, not concerned about respectability, 'I'd like to be a bad woman too... /And strut down the streets with paint on my face. So refreshing to read this.
