What think you of a 'Bourbon Street' poem?
Trapeze girl of the
Stripper joint
Swinging out the window.
Tourists enticing!
$20s tucked everywhere.
$100 bill or three...
Little girl, little girl,
Do you remember me...
Merry-go-round at
Recess...
Hide and Seek at noon.
Costumes and boas
Left behind at dawn...
She wakes her little
Princess,
Packs a little memory...
Crunchy peanut butter
And thick, grape jelly.....
TD...told you you'd need that $100 sooner or later! Shouldna dun it!!!!
Uh, this was NOT written to be a 'child's' poem...far from it!!!
I'm simply talking to the 'child' the girl on the trapeze used to be....
Good Morning!

This poem had a great twist, and funny too, thought maybe there was a moral behind the poem something like this:
When sharing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches , make sure there's not a boa laying across the back of the chair! There might be more ,to that boa, than meets the eye! Fun Poem Cheers !!!

I liked it, haha. the rhyme was fun and constistent. "Perhaps he forgot or mabe didn't care either way But most children, they get hungry almost every single day If I coulda done it, I woulda sent him this new news" that sounds awkward and forced. "So when they found your body stinkin' of a bit more'n booze Mama took a drag and shrugged her shoulders at the news." news sounds overused. it gets sorta forced. work on meter.

I really like it! It makes me a little sad though. The sweet innocence of childhood slips away before we know it, and then some girls gotta do what they gotta do to get by.

When you write the children's book, don't in clude this poem,
I wonder at people at times.
But the poem is good I like the twist, peanut butter and jelly
a classic.

I wish I could write poetry! Incredible! For some reason, my friends and I stopped into a strip club when we were in New Orleans. I wondered what the dancer's story was.
Thanks for sharing.

I love poetry like this. Its wonderful. I think little ones would enjoy it. You should write your own poetry books for children.

It's got
swing, bling,
walk, talk,
cash, dash,
food, mood,
play, day,
strips, quips,
kids, bids,
voyeurs, enjoyers,
pretend, spend.
Beginning and end.
A neat, street feat!
Something for everyone!
I'll take mine on the rocks if you don't mind....
