Dressing Poems

Dressing Peccably

     Shorts, gyms shoes, a sweatshirt with a hoodie
       Senator John Fetterman dresses peccably
     
     Yet unafraid to speak his mind, to call 'em as he sees 'em
        He serves his constituents most respectably

Dressing Down

Hold my head for me, dear 
For I've been trying not to lose it 

The words on my tongue 
Are no longer silver-plated 
No longer sugar-coated 
Still there remains 
Some sweetness 
In being plain human 
I do not wish to call it nectar 
I do not wish to  call it ichor 
or liquid light 
From now on, 
I think I'll just call it blood 
And live just as I should 
And press my feet into the earth
And not imagine it's the clouds 
And try to write more and rhyme less 
And try to dream more 
and daydream less
And try to heal instead of dressing up

Dressing Me

I love, love dressing up,
matching shoes, purse,
belt, hat, scarf round
the neck or tied on
the purse handle.
Now, I am ready.
I always dress up for
me for I want to feel good.
Don’t get me wrong for I dress
down. But, I always get comments not
being casual or dress down enough like, jeans
with a lacy top at the parties, jeans with loafers, not
 tennis shoes on casual Fridays. I do dress down for me
in torn shirts with holes or tattered clothes
at  home cleaning and cooking. My son would tell
me  to throw them away and remind me I  have so many
clothes. But I feel good wearing them for I feel free being me.

The way we hide ourselves

The dresses of many a distant phase,
the casual attire of black and white,
the lumberjack shirts that were once, my craze.
The hoodies that hide me, both day and night,
the caps that shadow me from day’s sunlight.
The leather jacket for boldness of face,
the styles I’ve hid, for fear of losing face.

From Scratch Muffin Dressing

Recipe
Just a small portion
The muffins
The dressing is made from scratch
A little sample in a muffin
Tastes great
Small plate
Cranberry Sauce toppings
Elegant style
Worth the while
Delicious in size.

Homemade
In a fancy dish
Sizeable amounts
12 dressing muffins in a pan
The dressing style
On the entree list.

Its So Becoming

All the coming and going,
going out
guests coming, so -
dress up
make up
spruce up
brush up
tidy up
don the new getup
shake the dust
off the best plates.
Its so uplifting and fulfilling.
This is so becoming.

Dressing and Undressing

Is it too late to put on
a slouch hat and overcoat
or is it too early for a T and shorts?

I dress in the dark
allowing time and light
to expose its itself upon skin and eyes.

This afternoon I will be busy until...
This morning is late and cannot catch-up
for it dawdled.

As if aware of its own magical powered
the moment opens-up
I relax
let the sky-peeking window
clothe and unclothe me

allow the sun-shadowed walls
to attire my mind the way it always will
and should do.

Oil and vinegar just don't mix
When the chef tried stirring with prick
That was his slick trick
And he made the two stick
So, he named his new dressing nick

Dressing Up

Dressing Up
David J Walker

Dressed as if the place was packed 
		Stacked
With men and women dressed from
			Racked 
Expressions of power and success 

Red power tie 
	Blue blazer 
		Black oxfords

Black dress 
Low cut slow 
To the 
		Silver pearls below
Daring to show 
Enough to know 
what you are missing
And stilettos if you dare 

Draped 
	And faked 
Dressed 
	But going nowhere 
Important 

Hiding 
	Biding time 
Siding  
With the 401K crowd 

Direct deposits 
		Adding up
While dressing up

Art of Dressing

ART OF DRESSING

Always buy clothing on sale
or clearance prices because
I use my skill or art of 
coordination to look stylish. 

Love to dress up in style by
mixing clothes with colors that
go together and adding
accessories for flair, classy look.

Dressing Code

Nowadays we always dress,
Clothes we use on a mattress,
Just for fun and to impress,
Nothing more, nothing less.
We seem to be vision less.

We feel neither cold nor pain,
Wearing clothes used to train,
As we walk we really strain,
Pulling them down all in vain,
Struggling, yet nothing to gain.

A life of curse not blessing,
But they call it modesty living,
Living as if nothing is missing,
Feeling like world is bouncing,
At the end we gain nothing.

Window Dressing

Make do with what you have
company coming and feeling modest
Tidy up and dust a spot
Wear clean clothes and put out the
good bath towels
Straighten that rug, no toss it in the closet
a scented candle, too much
The living room curtains washed and ironed
A knock on the door
welcome them in with a smile

Leftover Willpower

Leftover Willpower
David J Walker

I know
	I know
What I said last night 
After the last bite of 
Turkey and dressing and 
Cranberry sauce and 
Pumpkin pie	
That I
Would never eat again
At least, not this much
	So much
That it stretched my belly to
New dimensions forcing me to 
Unbutton the waistband of my
Khaki dress slacks
I know
	I know
How good it all was
 and yet how
Bad for me at the same time
And how I fell asleep in the
Recliner watching reruns of
“It’s a Wonderful Life”
And the morning after 
When I cannot think of putting
Any more food in my mouth
Somewhere in the back of my head
Hatches a plan for later
Sliders 
Maybe one 
Reheated roll with
Turkey and dressing and 
Cranberry sauce 
	Small Sliders
Maybe two
	Just two
No more
But surely not three
Would you think it profane to
Curse the names of every Pilgrim 
Who landed on Plymouth Rock?
The bane of my weakening 
Leftover willpower
IT’s ALL THEIR FAULT!
