Short Wardrobes Poems

wardrobes of clothes-
she still crowds my mind
with soft shadows...

Hear the weather
upon the roof,
Winter is a'coming:
As landscapes 
drowse
Autumn arrives
on the wind:
Wardrobes are
ransacked,
thermostats
turn red-
so earlier to bed...

What we wear
    How we look
  Our wardrobes plucked
    from the latest books  

  Fashion rules us
    Clothes hide who we are
  First make a few billion
    ~ Then dress bizarre...

Wardrobes, full of clothes,
crossstitch cluttered walls-
her shadow still clouds my mind

Wardrobes, full of clothes,
crossstitch cluttered walls-
her shadow still clouds my mind

tears begin to fall.
emotion becomes a flood-
a cataract of regret flows

a realisation dawns,
fleeting thoughts crystallize-
as 'as is' moment of hope is born...

knowing who wore warm
kilts where
was why knots were
wound wardrobes
knitted warmest when waistcoat
kind was
woven wool keeping watchmen
warriors waiting
kindly while watching washroom
kings wither while wine
knocked wisdoms went waste

Warning, wet paint.
None of this your 
concern, devil
For radiance is
Quasimodo’s
inspiration.

Entering the transcendence
of the church bells. 

Wardrobes, running
so fast, colors
vivid and enticing.

Been sorting out my wardrobes
Geez, what a chore
Some left on their hangers
Most are on the floor

Tried to be ruthless
Not worn last year then out they go
Must bundle up the floor ones
Before my heart says NOOOO

It’s a 6 monthly ritual that I abhor
Money is put in a box in aid of cancer...

A simple rhyme for a very dark time
  The road back, sure, an arduous climb
Tentative steps, cautious probes
  Sporting still protective wardrobes

Yet before long, like forests scorched
  Creature habitats by fire torched
Soon enough we'll be scampering gaily
  Reveling in routines familiar daily...

There once was a lady named Aksarben;
To a lot of her friends she's a has-been;
Closet wardrobes onlyred
Everything she owns "Huskers"

Set to the tune of 'Edelweiss'  from The Sound of Music

Wintertime, wintertime
Evergreens don festive wardrobes

Ivory
Christmas Eves
Swirl in peppermint snowglobes

Magical mirrors of lakes to skate
Taste snowflakes
On our tongues

Wintertime, wintertime
Keep my heart warm
Til spring comes.

The Seasonal Wardrobe of Trees


Trees
transform
their wardrobes

Spring
blossoms
green lace shawls

Soon
spreads lush
dark green capes

Fall
flaunts gold
burnished gowns

Then
drapes white
crocheted scarves

I love to see a person clad
In skirt or sweater made of plaid.
A shirt or scarf works just as well;
No stripes or dots can parallel.

In Scotland, once, I went to see
A mammoth Tartan factory.
Each pattern has a special name
And certain ones have gained acclaim.

My closet has a wide selection,
Plaids I wear with great affection.
Wardrobes must be really Spartan
If they lack at least one Tartan!...

Beauty's Beast.

Well I'm looking but I don't see.
A little here a little there
I even looked under the stair.
In the wardrobes and chest of drawers.
I even scrutinised the floors
but look I did and could not find
am I stupid, am I blind.
You say you left it by my chair.
Well I'm sorry  to say it's just not there.
I'm flabbergasted to say the least
but I think your wrong Beauty,
there is no Beast....

Give birth to the sun the day
asked about you
When the evening
Reflected the light of the moon from your window
asked about you
The birds, which you left them with thirsty
asked about you
The clouds and the sea at sunset
All of them asking about you
Your cat meowing next to a your statue in the lobby of the House
Your bed empty
Wardrobes
All of them asking about you
Death does not take... only .... who loved them...

How I love to wear a vest!
It really piques my interest.
For though it's kind of like a sweater,
Somehow, stylish-wise, it's better.

Whether made of down or tweed,
For warmth, it's what all wardrobes need.
With buttons, snaps or halves that zip,
It helps its wearer look quite hip.

So my advice, to spruce your flair
And make your outfit debonair, 
Just top your shirt when you get dressed
With, as you might have guessed, a vest!...

A DOMESTIC STRUCTURED PROSE
Her cardigan on the chairback,
shoes left in the hall,slippers ‘neath
the double bed,undies on the stool.
Handbag filled with this and that,
bathroom shelved of creams and
much besides;wardrobes,wall to
wall.Medicines boxed arranged so neat,
cellphone ready for a call,a text,
a chat,a listening ear,empathy
for one,and all.


Listen to me read this structured prose verse on youtube under my pen name ichtyschiro...

A ghoul,
A ghost,
Lots of candy,
For a treat,
Walk around town,
Knock on doors,
Beat the streets,
Witches,
Wardrobes,
Turtles,
Monkeys,
Seeing the little kids costumes,
There so cute and funny,
Sleek panty hose,
Make up galore,
Everyone loves candy,
Especially when they score,
Halloween is fun,
Exciting and can be scary,
Sometimes colder,
Even a bit airy,
Enjoying with your children,
Taking pictures of all,
Its times to remember,
When you have a fall.......

She lingers on the edge of warmth
savoring a cooling kiss
weakened as the distance grew
wondering – how’d it come to this.

Why does she long for distant shores
soft touch of newer, fresher winds
why must her shadows slowly fade
to dark beneath horizon’s bend.

As maples shed blood toned wardrobes
migrating lover’s dot the sky
she feels no pangs or leavings angst
for love’s not love when lovers cry.

Crème de la crème of society
Bone de la bone of the beggary
Castles suffocating with excess loot
Thatched huts with nakedness afoot
Mansions ignorant of starvation
Shanties bereft of constipation
Wardrobes of polished shoes, suits and ties
Cupboards riddled with bugs, roaches and flies
Despite the abundance, children are just a pair
While in lack, procreation is spared the care
When all is said and done, we arrive at the divide
When all that is left is for the earth to open wide...

*IF TOURING THE WORLD, CHANGING MY WARDROBES, BUILDING SKYSCRAPERS, FEELING FLY, GETTING ON FORBE LISTS AND GRACING PAGES OF MAGAZINES ARE ONLY REASONS I DESIRE TO BE RICH, MAY I JUST LIVE A "COMMON LIFE". BUT IF I'LL BLESS OTHERS, HELP THE NEEDY, RAISE OTHERS, TAKE CARE OF MY PARENTS & SIBLINGS, RAISE PEOPLE FROM THE STREETS TO STARDOM, AND NEVER LET MY NEIGHBOUR GO TO BED HUNGRY, THEN,.. GOD, I BEG  YOU TO MAKE ME WEALTHY????????????*
