Haiku Friday: Favorite Shirt
Not all clothes are created equal. Some things become our beloved favorites, worn and worn until they die of natural causes. It might be a great pair of shoes, a comfy sweatshirt, or just the right hat.
Let's haiku about that today-- the clothes that we love the most. It doesn't have to be a shirt, and it doesn't even have to be yours... you can even haiku about someone else's inexplicable tastes.
Here is mine:
Jeans made of Cool-Max
Now, they're mostly made of holes
Oh, I loved them!
Now it is your turn! Use the 5/7/5 syllable count, more or less, and revel in the memories...

my brother's faded t-shirt,
cotton soft with age.
Along with others,
I took it from his closet
to be reminded
Of his warm bear hugs.
It smelled like him for a while ...
I wish it still did.

His alma mater
Not mine, splayed across my chest
Warms from inside out.
Worn in secret, I
Wonder what stories it tells
From so long ago.

The freedom offered...
Mammoth white-- our wee bodies
Swam in its folds. Smelled
Of no worries,safe...
Wide,windy arms flew us to
Dreams.It smelled of love
That would stint the self
So we could rule as wise queens
Someday. Daddy's teeshirt.

It was very peach,
Which swept along terra in
Firma,more clouds,fancies
Caught in capacious
Hem.Deeper rose embroidered--
Capture unsuspecting
Of devotion , dreams.
Still I sit now and wonder:
For Whom shall I wear
It now? It calls me
Stuffed like a peasant frock in
Closet's maw. Lovers?
