Sewn With a Lingering Thread

~

Dressed in a jacket of tie dyed illusion
Measuring moments to spare
Dangling truth in the seams of confusion
Camouflaged, nothing to wear

Fastened by Velcro in heart strings of passion
Sewn with a lingering thread
Patterns on paper with words now in fashion
Running the walkway instead

Fabrics are woven of promised affection
Altering hemlines anew
Polishing buttons to claim your reflection
Love it looks so good on you

Susan Woodrow Date: 11/5/2019 2:41:00 PM Hi Chris :) love your last stanza and your opening line made me think back on all the jackets I've owned... does white-washed denim count? then I got flash backs of the dreaded sewing half of home economics! there were just too many needles around those patterns! You are quite the poetic tailor but Velcro would make any serious fashionista run off that walkway; buttons on the other hand... enjoyed :) Login to Reply Chris Green Date: 11/5/2019 3:01:00 PM Sure, white washed denim has to count, I think I had one of those as well. :) Thank you Susan, I am happy you enjoyed this one. Your comment made me smile for many reasons, one was, I hadn't heard the term "home economics" in a long time. Do they still hold that class? Thanks again, I am thrilled you stopped by today. Oh, I really like your outfit. : )
