Fabric - Leather Jacket

Freed from docile beast's corpse,
its death gifted me life:
laud humble bovine's offering.
I am immutable,
seamless, supple, stylish...
and together we rock that look!

You take me back to my younger years when we supported either the punks or the rockers! This would have done well in the contest, but in the meantime let me go read your lace one. Regards // paul

WEll, you sure did rock the LEATHER, John. I was looking for one of the four poems you told me about, but when I clicked on your name, it took me straight to this poem first!!(let me go see if I already saw what you did with lace!)

I like this one, too, but I agree with you that Lace is the stronger one. Good luck in the contest.
