Costume Poems

Our skin is not a costume

Our pain is not your entertainment 
We don't exist purely for your amusement 
My skin is not a costume 
Don't treat us like we are some display In a showroom

We won't apologise for our presence 
We will walk in every room with our heads up
Our silence our greatest weapon
It honours our intelligence 
Your biggest flaw

My Costume of Gray

    Every day I don my costume of gray
        preparing to frolic and play 

    Whatever the game may be that day
       my gray masquerade gives me away

    For deep inside, I tremble

neither wanted to give up the costume

They fell in love at a Star Wars Convention
When the marriage fell apart,
I thought they would stop dressing like 3-CPO
Neither wanted to give up the costume
To this extent
They both attended their divorce party
Where they celebrated with a Star Wars cake.

Ethnic Costume

Great ethnic costume
Very bright and beautiful
Like a scent perfume.

Costuming Halloween Just Playing Here

Costuming Halloween

Masque my visage fast!
…So my eyes bulge out, drunken red, and give me
    purpled, hairy lips and cheeks to complete 
My bloodcurdling look — Yikes!
So scary…Not sweet!
So chilling that Halloween’s 
Gross memories of seeing me will not be beat!

Then, when I float from door to door,
Levitating on a smoky breeze,
To greet

Witch Costume To Wear

Once upon a Halloween
I was a little black cat
Since then I have also been
A witch and the Cat in the Hat

One time I was Lily Munster
And then a witch again
I was also once Bart Simpson
Another witch, and then

A wizard and a zombie, too
The following year, a fairy
And, just to try out something new
More witches, sweet

Our Halloween Devil Cat

Some years ago, on Halloween,
Surprised, as we came on the scene;
      Our grand-kitty, cute-
      In a devil suit-
Did look a bit angry and mean!

The kids put him in this costume;
He seemed okay, but showing gloom.
      Annoyance on face-
  

The Costume

My costume was airy and light
Even my colors were bright
Then I suddenly changed
Turn completely deranged
And ate the trick-or-treaters with delight

The Costume

The costume she wore was a drag
It made her look like a hag
She tried to spruce up
But looked like a pulp
Who soar with the colors of a flag

Out My Window

When my work is almost done,
I love watching the setting sun…
And the sky changing its costume,
From the window of my room.
Colours like yellow, orange or red,
I find them in the sky, evenly spread.
I watch the sun moving towards the west,
After the day’s work, as if wanting some rest.
Out of my window, there I see a

Costume of Lies

What one deeply thinks, feels
is published to the Universe;
the mind, a viewing screen...
and heart, it's amplifier – the
current, that of a soul longing,
seeking its path of return;

the outer-world, a distorted
reflection of our spirit-nature;

the Inner-divine, our only
truth of conscious being...yet, 
we continue to don a sleeping 
Costume of Lies –

Please Stop Hunting

Where there mountain there gaar
Where there Tariq there daar
Where there Kapoor there kumaar
Where there snowy peaks there abshaar
Where there challenge there Lalkaar
Where there shorish there yalgaar
Where there zulm there pukaar
Where there competition there waar
Where there shikari there shikaar
Where there khizan there bahaar
Where there Jeet there haar
Where there jindagi dukh hazaar..

Dollar Store Stripper

We bought the get-up
at the local thrift store.
 
I elected to dress like a cop,
much to the amusement
of the female Dollar Store employees
who whistled and made comments
about me being a stripper,
 when we came through
the checkout line.

Costume

Hábito

Para o sucesso
e até o êxito
só os hábitos! 

Para o êxito
só as ferramentas
os métodos 
e a conquista
do coração de outra pessoa!

E tu, 
que não sabias acredite: 
no hábito há o mundo
 e nele há tudo  
que em ti não cabe.

Comece a criar
o hábito de fazer
mais e mais.
