reticulate

in dresses shiny
and shimmering
like fishes' scales
reticulate like mermaid tails
or full and billowy
like a ship's sails
the gals gown up
in glamour
put on their armour
and aspire
for more amore
Cinderellas awaiting
the stroke of midnight
hoping for a magic kiss,
or in lieu of this,
happily tipsy in a whirl of
friends, champagne and bliss
