Poem Artwork

 THANK GOD FOR ARETHA!

I know you’ve seen me driving --
I’m the redhead in the little Mustang
Singing her heart out under
That white convertible top.
I used to worry others
Would think I was crazy
Talking to myself at the stoplight.
But as Rhett Butler once said,
Frankly, I don’t give a damn.
I’m singing.
Loudly.
Freely.
And it feels good.
It’s how I let go of the day
Reconnect with myself
Lift my spirits.
So, if you see a crazy redhead
Talking to herself
Behind the wheel,
Roll down your window.
We’ll do a duet.
Hell, we’ll do a whole damn choir --
And we’ll all feel better.
Who needs a psychiatrist
When God gave us Aretha!

Come now Leysa, All redheads are Crazy. So you are one of them? Did not know that. There are two other redheads here creating chaos and now you have joined the choir.

Have a good time, Leysa, this is a lovely write that makes one laugh and get some real relief at the end of the day. Thanks Baby.

You are obviously "A Natural Woman" whose poetry deserves R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Well done
