All Things Girl - Created by Women, For Women

Writings

The Flapper Girls by Danielle Jackson

The jazz age babes
boop-boop be-duped
their way
out of kitchens

with silky stocking
and pouting lips,
tamed the snakes
inside clean trousers.

Brash, stylish,
Hedonistic, perfume dolls.
Short skirt rebels
With powdered knees,

gaze at by swollen wallet men
dressed in tail coats
and top hats,

And played with by those fly boys
and drugstore cowboys.

Danielle Jackson: I am 26 yrs old, from Sheffield, England. I have been published in three issues of all things girl, two Horace Magazines, Three anthologies by United Press, Sheffield Star, Psyke.org poetry, Gothic Fairy tales ezine, origami condom, and argotist online.
