Kitty Lou Poet Rhyme

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

Kai Michael Neumann March 31, 2018 at 6:13 AM 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 Lou March 31, 2018 at 6:47 AM Thank you!

Carrie Richards March 30, 2018 at 7:40 PM What an adorable fable you have woven (out of burlap and satin..lol !) Loved it !! Kitty Lou March 30, 2018 at 8:14 PM Thank you!

CayCay Godwin March 22, 2018 at 6:30 PM 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 Kitty Lou March 22, 2018 at 8:21 PM Thank you so much for reading and commenting! It is very much appreciated!
