Poem Dress
My good friend Julia used to help me put together my monthly poetry magazine years ago, so when she challenged me to write a dress poem, she knew how to get my attention! I immediately went to work, and this shape poem is the result. This is one of my favorite looks for myself, even though I'm not that tall in reality. But inside, this is how I see myself, in a dress of this style: turtleneck collar, cut-in shoulders, slinky fabric hugging my form past the knees then billowing out at the feet. I can even tell you what fabric it is made from: emerald green jersey knit (just like the fabric I once found decades ago at a sale, bought, then lost on the bus!) What dress are you wearing inside?
