It’s Women’s History Month here in the United States ~ one during which this poet enjoys offering her tongue-in-cheek series on the lives of ladies who have helped to make modern life as we know it possible for all of us.

Infamous Laydeez ~ The Divine Duncan

Isadora Duncan went,
On business or for merriment,
Through the streets of corseted Paree
Dressed in flowing Grecian drapery
(Which, as you know, transparent be)
To passers there,
As nearly bare
As such magnificence should be ~
A sight approaching heavenly
The gentlemen would all agree
Though ladies discontented were
And much rather would prefer
Nevermore their spouses see
Such a woman thus would dare
Cavorting inexcusably
In her underwear!

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working seven days a week to contribute to her society, however.
