... Was just about to post what will probably be my final in my Childhood Creepies series, when this "other" little ditty appeared in a puff of smoke... what a relief! :)) The other was a bit risky... but will nonetheless probably appear sometime soon. Ah, happy days! Punk Party circa 1979 :))
HOW COME I’M NOT A GOTH GIRL?
How come I’m not a Goth Girl,
puncturing the neck;
swilling Bloody Mary’s
with tights that are a wreck?
How come I smile instead of scowl,
take tea instead of gin;
can’t wait to thrill to each new day –
not keep the darkness in?
Perhaps ‘cos Light has found me out,
put purpose in my step:
“Don’t lie there in that grave of yours –
you ain’t seen nuthin yet!”
Oh I think you're closer than you think, Kate. Goths are romantic to the the supreme. You have the beautiful capability of not taking yourself so seriously, that's all, and yes seeing the light as well as the darkness. Love it sis...Lin
like olivia newton john in Grease before her makeover, you might have been too wholesome to play a dark role in life, kate. Things grow in the light anyway, only s and the creepy like the dark. Liked this Dressing Dangerously, or Safely, as the case maybe. Sure, we all would like to be other people from time time.
Katie- YOu would make a cute Gothic and maybe beable to help! them see the light- Throw away the darkness within them- There such lonely souls reachinggg-- This poem was incredible- I loved it---Miss- can I have tea and crumpets pleaseeee- WArmly and Sweetly,Sheeeoxo (Cute pict) :) You do look a like alot of sass is in your ass----mind -heart and soul I'm suree---
You got me on this one, first thang came to mind, Jessica Lange "The Goth Queen" in Shakespeares famous Titus Andronicus hehe.
Basically you pulled back the curtains in a dark room and let the sun in with this entertaining and clever write.
I think you'd make a lovely Goth Kate, need to add some pathos and a little anomie and hey presto! Marylin Manson's sidekick lol. Top write dearest darkest Kate...you must come and visit my coffin sometime lol.
This is awesome! I love what you've done here. Your words are loveable and light (for lack of a better word at the moment), making me want to read it all over again just for the fun of it.
Oh my Sweet Kate this is wonderbar...both the picture and the text is so....Kateish I love it. You were and still are a cutie and if you ever went Goth I'd disown you as my adopted daughter. You are the one that brings light to our days here on the net. Don't ever change.
LOL--you make an awesome Goth girl! :) And I enjoyed the transformation. :)
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Love this, as a Goth Girl at heart, it makes me smile. The best part about being Catholic and being Goth is that the symbols are all the same, so no need for change:) I think some people totally misunderstand Goth and act like freaks thinking Goths worship the devil or something, when, as I mentioned, it is much closer to religion than the ignorant think. Besides, the music is fun, and what girl doesn't like to get dressed up? People often think of the punky ripped fishnet Goths, but I have always been the black velvet, corsets, sweeping gown, romantic tyoe. I love that you are open-minded and maybe a great humorous poem like this will make others stop judging Goths. Love the photo:) Oh- there is a great song by John Wesley Harding called "Goth Girl." If you get a chance, take a listen, one of my faves. Be well- Michelle xxxxx
Homer's Ill Iliad & Odd Sea Odyssey (420 pages) is an adult satire/parody rewrite of the classic stories of the 10 year Trojan War and of the 10 year adventure of Odysseus trying to return home to his native Ithaca.

So it could be in our blood.
But nowadays it's just a fashion statement in the main.
Perhaps ‘cos Light has found me out,
put purpose in my step:
Therein lies the answer..... You jolly ole thang...

put purpose in my step:
“Don’t lie there in that grave of yours –
you ain’t seen nuthin yet!”
Amen, Kate - and keep on Light Steppin!
