Michelle Smith

Look out below


The weather water is not frightful 

it's wind and rain is bone chilling cold

of winter will not provide a splinter

In gloved hands by Steve Madden

My #Girlspeaks black apple cap

with the ball in the middle frames

my sepia face well and defines

The drops on my Totes beige and black

button automatic umbrella open from 

My LA born vintage fingers 

Look out below

Work anti oil slip  boots by Dr. Scholl's warm

warm my ankles laden with arthritis as

I walk at a pace somewhat slow and kind 

Avoiding a puddle made by the 

atmospheric river that floods In

streets that have famous corners 

like Hollywood and Vine

or a car and it's tires watering my 

Torrid plus size  fit on my body love 

and black leather foot length coat

adorning my Hershey's kiss body

immensely that no water frosts me

and the words

Look out below 

will not splash my hips, waist, & behind.

Fashionably fabulous and fine from

head to toe.

Raindrops swish, clean, and grow.
