Bad Girls
(For my girl)
B ad girls sleep with pillows, tucked between their thighs
A ngry with the boys they love, tired of the lies
D on't expect a picket fence, built up in their dreams
G ood girls sleep with husbands, stitching tight the seams
I d rather sleep in downy fur, damp in salty tears
R ather build a six foot fence, shielding of their leers
L eave the blush to nicer girls, sold on better things
S o I can ride with not so nice, peaches, dirty flings.
About Me
- Yellow Dollhouse Girl
- I'm a journalist and freelance writer from Southern New Hampshire, whose had several poems and articles published in journals and magazines since 1995. I've received numerous awards from the New England Press Association for my work as a journalist. The mother of two sons, I stay busy coaching soccer and working full time as a writer/marketer. I am the sole producer and editor of H.O.P.E. – a new and zany zine about people whose lives have been touched by mental illness. I am currently writing my first novel, The Good Wife’s Reading Basket, and am working religiously on my Yellow Dollhouse memoirs. When the kids are in bed, I can be found glued to my computer, writing poetry and non fiction into the early morning hours or submerged in a Sylvia Plath biography. Most recently, I burn the midnight candle writing blogs: Yellow Dollhouses, Fat Bottomed Girl, and My Online (Oh so original blog title there) Journal.
