Burlap and Satin

Burlap and satin went to the dance It was held at the old Fisher Barn Burlap wore a fine Gunny sack Adorned with a drawstring of yarn Satin sported a shimmery weave Trimmed with buttons of gold The glossy attire was flawless And was quite a sight to behold Burlap took satin by the hand And together they started to dance When a stray strand of jute, caught satin’s suit Burlap did not stand a chance. Apologies followed But the damage was done Satins glossy ensemble Had a permanent run. Their dance quickly ended Burlap was not Satins ilk Burlap tangoed with Hemp Satin went home with silk. The moral of the story And a material fact Not all fabrics blend Despite how they act 3/21/2018

That is so true and yet so sad. But maybe some things are not made to be and therefore the better. Congratulations on your win, Kai

Kitty, congratulations on your win for this well-written poem. I like the way you used 'burlap and satin' as characters to present a moral in your lovely rhyme! Very clever. Sandra

This is absolutely precious and so well rhymed and delivered. I love it. I can't tell what date you posted it, but, regardless, it makes no sense that there are no comments on this talented write. It is nice to meet you, and, if new, I hope you read/comment so that you'll get comments - this poem deserves them. I also hope you put it in the contest (if so, you'll need to add the date). I thoroughly enjoyed this frisky, clever poetic romp! All the best ... CayCay
