Soap on a Rope (NaPoMo 28)

Soap on a Rope
Ivorian Sonnet 28 – aa bcb dede badec
Theme: Love Subject: Facewash

For wild days easing my soul of life’s load
The time had come to make a change of mode
It struck me while I was taking a pee
Those floral gels and creams – they had to go –
So I could really live my life on T
In the trash they went, a soap on a rope,
Shower gels, and bubbly pearls filled the can
Making room for razors and stuff of hope
For that first day, the first shave of a man
Yes, I know what you all can clearly see
A goatee beard states a different code
But now and then hot wash and shaving soap
Because it’s needed and because I can
In this my own world and my liberty

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
