Reading my Poems for the Church Ladies
These women believe in God
like a real thing,
solid and unshakeable.
They shine with kindness
clean hair swings,
teeth white and straight.
They don’t worry
where the best produce comes from;
they carry Paul’s Market bags in the car,
and buy only the freshest, the finest.
Blue ribon lives.

“Blue ribbon lives.!” Beautiful!
“and buy only the freshest, the finest.
Blue ribbon lives.” Says it all so well.
Yes, agreed! Perfect work choices!
Or it could be “word” choices. Glad it’s Friday!
Many good lines as noted above. Yet, there is also the disquiet hinted by “they shine with kindness” and “blue ribbon lives.” Good vignette.
Oh yes, their outward appearance. Not only do they appear to be all your have recorded, they are also the repository of all the compensations they have made in their lives in order to earn that blue ribbon.
