I am in numbers all Robin-egg speckled
I live in groups all splattered and tickled
In ochre's and browns...a little sienna
A Tad of mahogany...even on bananas
I brighten the smiles and cheeks of my hosts
I glorify flesh-tones with my happy boasts
The children with pinched cheeks in rosy abundance
Can smile with a splash of splattered on dalliance
A large one here and a smaller right there
This ones shaped funnier than old Einstein's hair
The sun kisses some while birthing the others
Then tans cause some to merge with their brothers
Whoops! Maybe sisters...but in any case
They sing and dance all over my face
Some people hate them but for me its a factor
Its part of my make-up, to love me with character
I adore all my spots like a leopard with glory
My freckles are me...that's another love story.
So very lovely and so very ironic, hard to believe but our minds must be in sync, I just saw and bought two cabbage patch dolls at a yard sale for my granddaughers.
I don't like Cabbage Patch dolls,
but I love freckles, especially on
2 of my grandsons, Wesley & Ferdinand.
This is so cute, and I think freckles
do add character! Do you have them?

Leave it to Sage to expoind on freckles. Is there anything she can't expound on? Pretty sharp. Freckles across a fair young ladies nose is cute, just as Doris Day. Cute poem.
Freckles are a symbol of sprite-girl feminism! They are simply scandalous! Cosmetic companies now marketing the Freckle Crayon to give freckles, their latest power-girl creation paying homage to the freckle! Contrary to skin bleachers, laser treatments, and Retin-A that accounts for large dermatologist bills. Ancient Egyptian women used oil of fenugreek to rid their bodies of freckles and European women used elderflowers to melt off freckles. The faeries in my novel The Buckskin Skirt Oar Traveler have melanocortin-1-receptor, the major freckle gene! Connecting the dots, Susan!
Be proud of your uniqueness; I'd like to think that freckles are God's kisses. :) Excellent, beautiful, self-depreciating humor, if we can't giggle at ourselves, who will?
