Thanks, all. And welcome, Matthew. I do hope you’ll stick around for more damaged attire.

Ooooh, Z, be gentle with me, babe. ;)

But if lovely boys didn’t want to hang around the ruined skirts of bad girls, where would we be?

(Love this, and wish I’d written it, damn you, bitch!)

clean and clearly worded, the hidden sadness
beneath the good boy or girl’s eyes.

As I was reading this, I wanted to set it to music. I might just do that, if that’s all right. And if I can find the right chords.

Jem: Heheh. Nothing wrong with trying on a skirt or a style of writing, just to see how it feels, right?

Drodbar: Are you psychoanalysing me, Neil? I liked you so much better when you thought I was ‘intriguing’ and ‘sexy’. ;)

Maybe this nice young chap can see through your bad girl self-image.

There’s something very old about this, perhaps I mean timeless, classic. Its almost Byronic. I’m sure he’d have welcomed a boy into his skirts too!

Spanish Goth: I do love a boy in a skirt, me. Always had a thing for kilts, too … *drifts*

Jim: Aw, cheers Jim, but I wouldn’t get too excited, I’m just experimenting as is my wont (see response to Goth above).

Dinos X: This poem thinks you are damn lovely, too.

Lovely(ish) boy: Have you no response to these allegations against your person?

This is just so… well… so damn lovely! :)

What a beautifully structured poem! Christ, Ani, I thought I was the only one left who gave a crap about form. Gawd bless you, dear, Gawd bless you.

Perhaps the lovely boy is not treadung on the skirts, merely trying them on for size
