Mae West: Clothes Fall

MAE WEST — — surely deserving of a sonnet and the dignity of iambic pentameter — — turned up in a line of free verse penned by Ann Carter.
• • The reigning poetess of Carroll County, Arkansas has a slim new anthology out: Sweetness: Collected Poems 1974-2009. Here's a brief excerpt with a moonstruck metaphor:
• • • • Since I swore off romance, the full moon rise
• • • • Is tonight's big event, a celestial floor show
• • • • Where a Mae West moon shoulders out
• • • • In iridescent orange and then lets those clothes
• • • • Fall for the moon white skin she's in.

• • In England, today is "Boxing Day" — — no relation to the boxers Mae dated. However, we think pro boxers deserve their own commemorative date.
