The Fashion Show

The Fashion Show

I took pattern making autumns ago
I measured and cut a bodice to sew 
A vintage cocktail dress trimmed with mojo
Louie Fifteen Courts would never forgo                                                                   
I’m dressed to the nines and nowhere to go
Aha, of course, there’s a chic fashion show 
It’s a full house, the theme: “Haute Escato” 
Awed by the finale I yell bravo! 
Home watching YouTube, with chips and merlot

Linda Alice Fowler November 23, 2022 at 8:01 AM My grandmother was an awesome seamstress and made my school clothes until middle school when I started making my own. But she, Alice, really could make a purse out of a sow's ear LOL. Great poem! I Am Anaya November 23, 2022 at 8:07 AM Your precious mom Alice is so talented Linda, and so are you, Wow! I made my own disco dresses on my mom's singer, lol!

Rico Leffanta November 6, 2022 at 10:34 AM Enjoyed! (My late wife loved her Bernina, and made most of our clothes, including an elaborate gown out of bank coin bags). Aloha! I Am Anaya November 7, 2022 at 7:46 AM Rico, men are stunned by the many skills and resourcefulness of a woman. Creativity is at its best when there is not enough material or whatever it is which forces you to become creative. She sounds amazing Rico!

David Kavanagh November 5, 2022 at 4:43 PM You certainly know how to fashion a dress into a poem Anaya, with some real fun lines, after all the trouble you went to getting ready, you’ve nowhere to go, but being the trooper you are, opened a bottle of Merlot to watch a fashion show on YouTube, your irrepressible humour comes through in this poem, I enjoyed, all the best in contest, cheers David I Am Anaya November 6, 2022 at 8:07 AM Hey David, glad to have made you smile! I do try to keep a sunny disposition. “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” Yep, I still play dress-up. Thank you for your gracious comment. Have a nice day!
