Charct. Scratch

Toying with the idea of one last shot at NaNo. I have a little bit of an idea, the setting is Scofflaw Square, and I’m slowly peopleing it.

Wanda The Swan waves a brief greeting
to Caper the scrivener passing her window.
soft faded robe
showing less than it seems,
she smiles at her friend and returns to her hair.
Wanda’s not the first Swan
at the place called the Fan
(curved carved wooden feather plume over the door)
years ago there were two,
sisters Alice and Kate,
whose long lovely necks
spawned the monkier
and gave madam’s mister the bright idea
to call all the Fan’s girls
by feathery names.
Dark eyed tall Wanda takes well to the Swan,
long elegant limbs
thick hair soft as down
(and now colored chestnut instead of its blond)
The gentlemen do love her curves and her curls.
