Short Fashionably Poems

seemingly fashionably noveau-
                                                      as  yesteryear sepia photos show...

Such beauty I see
Where the stems to blossom die
Citrus and saffron
To a fashionably end
Meant for eyes to encounter...

dress for yourself
wear your pretty
be fashionably you

overdress
wear glamor
wear glitz

do what makes you
feel the best
dress for yourself...

I stand and wait by the garden gate
My object of affection is fashionably late
When she appears she will be mine
For a wedding is planned to celebrate....

Katherine the Great
Was fashionably late
In the parlor were chairs to recline

Each year she got greater
So of course she got later
And now all her “good friends” decline...

Missy Dee was as fashionably dressed as any duck ever was.
We saw elaborate clothing on her duck tail and her fuzz.
There was extra pizazz in her little duck waddle for sure.
She was queen of the pond. The cattails bowed at her demure....

A mannequin stands  
in the neon of night
head slightly canted
harlequin-right
fashionably clothed
in the brand-names of youth
arms shiny rods
with no digits forsooth
if able I think
his thumb he would raise
and he’d give me a wink.

young, beautiful spring,
fashionably dressed in green;
buds blossoming as
bumble bees and butterflies
float with carefree abandon

On the heels of 
last week’s snow storm,
Red Winged Blackbirds
have returned.
Resplendent males
red epaulets flared
against sleek black feathers
against  cold white snow.
Staking their
patch of cattails,
each holding forth
Lord  of his territory
each lustily calling
 "Okalee"
till his Lady arrives
fashionably late
with warmer weather....

ebony like a puma, velvet pretty
she prowls and growls and moans in her sleep
like a little black dress, fashionably chic and insightful
there is purring now, her dreams might have shifted
the toms in the alley remain in hiding, fearful
she can be such a tease, and sometimes a torment
her scratches are serious; she is not afraid to bite
the howling and growling is back
alley cat of Allentown...

I look at the ocean so clean and so fresh
And admire the way it is so fashionably set
The serenity of each wave as it the sand met
The lazy waves as evey one to the shoreline get
The hue so gentle, sublime and traquil I attest
The view from my terrace impeccable at best
A tranquility of body and mind I easily get
Subdued and awed by the sweet waters depth
I assume anonymity in this ocean I so fret...

If I could dream the Impossible dream,
To marry a handsome prince.
Live in an exquisite palace,
Invite all my relatives and friends to come visit.
Dress fashionably everyday,
A beautiful hat to compliment the fashion.
Sing a song with the Lord 's permission,
To stand on the stage,
Reach out to an audience.
Become celebrated and well-known.
Thankful for the many blessings of God.

Ultimate genius
Diabolical hate
Tis justice plus
Terminal fate

Sadistic mind 
Darkness awaits
Crossed lines
Artistic bait

Melodic gust
Fantasy slate
Issued trust
Mystical gate

Discourage doesn't
Break the state
Urging mustn't
Under-estimate

Early mornings
Tredging the wait
Global warning
Fashionably late

Resolution allure
Innovation great
Timely explore
Concentrate

Public bounds
Crossover create
Thee who is crowned
We shall dedicate...

I walked down the street today
As one would
Wearing my bright green shoes
As not everyone could
I held my head high
As not everyone should
I swaggered and strutted
As freedom deemed I could
With my headphones on
And yellow scarf slung
I felt fashionably dressed
As only a fashionista would
Compliments were given
As I expected they might
I basked in the glory
As only the vain could
It was such a lovely day
To walk down the street
As I felt I should...

Howard thought holes in his jeans was fashionably in style
He tore them all down the pants leg, wearing a smile
His mother told him he could not leave the house on his horse
Unless he wore long underwear, and he did it of course

He was glad he did, for these holes were in the wrong places
He had torn the holes in his jeans in some mighty weird spaces
Someone said how lovely the orange was showing through
Come see me tomorrow he told her, I’ll be wearing blue...
