What is your favorite thing to wear? That's a good haiku topic-- let's do that! Here is mine:
Name tag says "Donny."
I sewed it on there. My
Friends were not fooled.
Now it is your turn! Just make if 5 syllables/7/5, and the winner gets a bio here on Monday!

ReplyDeleteshirts are loose, not tight. Just right,
with flip flops and shorts.
My mother, and friend.
Went out for clothes, but left. "Old
dames need no new clothes."
De minimus, yes.
Just enough to dodge a charge
of indecency.
Never know when you
ReplyDeletewill get in an accident

But it just fits right!

ReplyDeleteSlips on silky like sweet song.
Plump doves peep from neck.
A column of peach
ReplyDeleteBlossoms Monet embroidered
Waterfalls to her feet.
She went to see him
Yet again in his tuxedo
And he kissed her lips.
Once a year she dove
Into his eyes and knew there
Was no hope.Craving.
This hat has its own
ReplyDeleteLife.Pink,it praises flowers,
Sparkling chats with stars.
Medievalist hits a home run. Nothing more alluring than the combination he mentions. "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams" a song I love. And James Dean--Well!! Love Oso's poem. And Seraphim's. You people-poets are golden today!
ReplyDeleteNo haiku, just wanted to let you know that my cat Donnie wants his sweatshirt back. He says you're totally out of your element.

Converse sneakers, Chucks.
She didn't know she
ReplyDeleteHad Asberger's. She talked to
All... in black catsuit.
Her words flew--bullets
From an uzi. Numbers kept
In head,big hats on.
Her hats frightened dogs,
And small children.But kept skin
Smooth,white.Tights kept pain in.
They thought her crazy.
But she on patrol,kept them safe.
She thought black/white facts.
Fascinated me.
Smart child with no boundaries.
Collecting free shells and stones.
So,if you asked me
I'd say her huge hats like blooms
Were her favorites.
Medievalist kicking it off STRONG!!!

Who says you can't wear
ReplyDeletepajamas to work at home?
I do every day.
OK, I'm late to this party but I was on vacation until yesterday, and I simply cannot let this opportunity pass....I must enter:
ReplyDeleteClothes may make a man
but Stuart Weitzman pumps, Kate
Spade bag bring me joy.
Am I a shallow
Material Girl, a slave
to designer brands?
Maybe. I do not
care. THOSE pumps and THAT bag are
pretty. That is all.
The just-right shoes and
bag are the dot in my own
exclamation point.
