Little Miss Dress Up

A free verse poem about my earliest memories of dressing up

Dressing up was

my form of art.

I got to transform myself

into someone enchanting and fictitious.

One day,

I was a pink princess.

On another day,

I was an auburn-haired Barbie doll.

Dressing up was

my method of play therapy.

It became a solitary game of,

"Who could I turn into next?"

Some little girls used crayons,

I used costumes and make-up.

Some little girls used paint,

I used glitter and dolls.

Little Miss Dress Up

is now reincarnated.

She's still around today

but with different costumes, props and accessories.
