short but take a lot of space
shoulder length dark hair
touches of burgundy
eyes
rich deep brown
the most arresting part of
what is me
what you see
medium build
not thin
not thick
medium
peppy step
told once that it looked as though
I knew where I was going
and how to get there
skin more to the dark than light
more to the golden hue
doesn’t look as old as is
but holds marks of passing
my patina
bear of a laugh, barrel type intensity
comes out truly like a HA
physically not
drop dead gorgeous
but
something about the spirit
will make you look again
something that says
what is that there
don’t want to miss
whatever it is
that’s when
I’ll look you in the eye
and
wink


todays challenge: Describe yourself, as though to
a stranger, use whatever means you so desire, prose,
rhyme, freestyle. let us see how you see you.

Josie, You left out some important details that I see in your photo. 8000 watt smile, eyes that twinkle with pride in her daughter, and hold a glint of naughtiness.
