Michael Craig Poet Free verse

Green Velvet

Impoverished, destitute no money to spare
This woman with green eyes and cascading hair 
On a mission to find something to wear
Impress she must as though she hadn't a care
Green velvet drapes hanging in her foyer
Torn down and fashioned just for her
This woman in green shown like a mare
Femme fatal, Scarlett O'Hara, as no others compare
Dressed to kill as only she dare
In the green dress that she did wear
