Revisiting closet
inspecting closely
apparel hiding
behind turtlenecks,
tees, denim
finding dress
you know
the one
THAT one
never worn
boldly crimson
once intimidating
now enticing
tags snipped
garment released
from threat
of possible
probable return
had not
internal battle
been waged
and won
slipping on
fitting perfectly
feeling sexy
wearing truth
of authentic self

Back in April of 2010 I wrote an original 55 word poem regarding choosing between wearing a hot, spicy red dress or something comfortable, familiar, with the least risk. In that poem, the subject chose, most likely out of fear of the unknown, what she always wore. Fast forward and you presently find our subject stepping out from her old ways into the bright, bold, woman she was always meant to be.

Two, two...two memes in one!
It's an "Alphabe-Thursday-Friday-55" mash up!

What a fabulous color!
That is going to look delicious on you!
I love a clingy red dress....no, no...not on me....on Mrs. MM.
love the dress. Glad you snipped the tags! {:-D
Black is my color of choice but donning the sexy dress and the 4 inch peep toe pumps mmmm feels soo good
Pollyanna....?
It's not nice to tease!!!
Loved your 55
(Even though it wasn't solely pour moi)
But at least you played, and it WAS Damn good! So thanks for remembering this week, have a Kick Ass Week-End, now Go and Sin No More!!
Clothes make a huge difference in how we feel--and who couldn't feel confident in a dress like that?
what a lovely dress... There isnt a single dress in my closet Guess I choose to go with the familiar
woohoo...step it out...big and bold and where are you going to keep the business cards? smiles.
Wow! Go for it. Confident words - confident dress.
You almost made that mystical. nice one.
That is my absolute favorite color and you have perfectly captured the inner dialog many of us have conducted with ourselves at one time or another.
Nice work, Polly!!
Good choice. brave and bold choice!
(No scoop necks for me!) thanks.
Polly, I'll bet you really look HOT in that red dress!!!
Agree confident words, confident dress.
Great post!
It's odd and always surprising how clothes can change your whole attitude. Today I threw some overalls on over a red pajama shirt. Justin says I look like Super Mario. That makes me want to eat some spaghetti and jump on koopa troopas.
Yes! Glad you went for the red dress! Hope you have some sexy heels to go with it! You've got the attitude!
Oh, I like this! And I want to experience it!! (internal battle waged and won)
Great poem, Polly.
And by the way, I did post the "writer" card on my blog today. ;)
Congratulations on wearing that gorgeous dress and accomplishing two memes in one. I played Alphabe Thursday two go rounds, maybe three - my mind is ancient and not so good with memory - but I've faltered at it now.
My 55 is at:

Black and Red. Those are my make me feel sexy colors!~Ames
It's always great to see someone take a risk and grow. Congrats. Love your 55.
GREAT dress, Polly! Now we want to see you in it!

great post. Last time I did this, sadly, I lost the battle. Tried on the dress, thought it looked very unsexy, tossed it into the donation pile, ate some chocolate... LOL
It's time to put that dress on and take it for a spin!
Gorgeous! That dress needs to be taken out on the town - soon!
oh to have the figure for that dress
Fabulous. I have a dress like that in the back of my closet but I've yet to get up the nerve to actually wear it.
Good for you!
Happy Thanksgiving! xo jj
woohoo for the bold bright woman! finally stepping into herself as she is, should be!
wonderful!
