Gucci really outdid themselves on this outfit.
I clap way longer than the others.
I stand up and whistle and hoot too.
Someone escorts me out, for I am a spectacle.
But I could not help myself.
The model winks at me as they drag me past her.
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
Flashes of lights, cameras and buzz,
Assembly of connoisseurs and fuss,
Stage is set for the show to begin,
Half whispered words circle in the din,
In come the girls in their new display,
On catwalk with a swing and a sway,
No expression on face, rigid gaze,
Silhouette of colours to amaze,
Half starved models chosen to parade,
One after one in a Cavalcade,
World of pretences, it’s a money game!

Naked trees,dressed by springs fashion.
Birds seek refuge in the sleeves of trees.
Warm breeze run up the trees sleeves.
Feathers are cleaned by a brush of wind.
Spring gives birth to a clean look. The best
designer the world could have. Springs fashion
show my eyes must have.
