Homage to Her Legs
her legs are long legs
they need room to
stretch around in.
they don't walk into small
cramped spaces. those legs
are adventurous legs.
they don't like to be held back.
those legs have never been restrained,
they roam where they want to roam
they walk where they want to walk.
those legs are strong legs.
those legs are soft legs.
she has wanted them
to strut a walk on a runway and
rock it like a model!
As embarrassing as this sounds, this was really hard for me to do. I tried multiple poems before settling on this one, and it just seems corny. Especially the last two lines.
It makes you realize how much work is put into a poem that is seemingly very simple! The rhythm is nice -- and I see you were trying to stick with one-syllable words like Cllifton.
