[hometext] => I dedicate this poem to my dear Aunt Bobbie, whom I adored.........she was a Flapper and in my eyes soared
[bodytext] =>  You might ask, "What is a Bucket List?" It's things you want to do before you die, it's your checklist. I've lived a full, and accomplished life Traveled extensively, experienced motherhood, good wife.  Very few things left that I want to do, But, one sticks out from all the rest....... I've always wanted to be another person, can you guess who? All my life I've dreamed about being a "Flapper" with bright red lipstick! A true life "Flapper" genuine, in costume, and slapstick!  After WWI the girls began to rebel, In the 1920's a new woman was born to excel........ They showed disdain for conventional dress and behavior, She smoked, drank, danced, and voted, wore bright red lipstick from the whorehouse, and became known as "The Flapper!"  She was giddy, and took risks, was fun-loving and carefree. Flappers had both an image and an attitude, "Look at Me!" Off with her hair......... Off with the "Gut Clinchers" (corsets) Off with the double sling shots (bras) Shorter dresses, "Rebel, Flappers Rebel!" no more laws!  I got to cross "The Flapper" off my bucket list this month. Magically, at my Olds Grads Reunion June twenty seventh, Bright red lipstick, flapper wig, and several other items........ I danced, I swayed with much freedom and knocked them all dead with many rhythms........ Would you like to see me fulfill my dream of being a flapper? Click on the links below, and take in the "Feather in the Hat Flapper" with all her glamour! Just highlite, copy, and paste and enjoy the show........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBncxSF7NEo Encore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H00e3LJHXRM Created for all those Flappers of long ago...... Lovingcritters  "So we came to the Ritz hotel and the Ritz Hotel was divine. Because when a girl can sit in a delightful bar and have delicious champagne cocktails and look at all the important French people in Paris, I think it is divine." ~Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos~ *Flapper Smiles* June 2010 73 years young [comments] => 5 [counter] => 891 [topic] => 54 [informant] => lovingcritters [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => happypoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
