His work is him.

Words meant formal
As talk to look
As pain is gain.

Premium Member Cotton Laughter

Just
a bit 
too formal,
pearl taffeta

Toes in the sea or a theme park;
Stained all over with a good time,
living in a tank top with rhinestone fringe.

Sartorial Oasis

I dress up every Sunday, 
but only in my mind
My coat and tie in tattered shreds,

Imagining in formal garb

Uncle John's Music

Daddy's piano plays my sadness
The funeral of a feeling
with a funny uncle at the mass

The windows feel the breeze
it's  6 pm in the afternoon, in Lisbon
The sun hides in a purple dusky sky
We feel formal but weak 
We feel the missing of a heart

Premium Member She Should Have Dressed Up

Dotty arrived at the party dressed as a giant teacup
Some laughed at her, for it was formal, she should have dressed up
She was instantly engaged in conversation with Old Mrs Hupp
Who switched place cards, so she could sit by the friendly giant teacup
