Sewn with a lingering thread

 

 

~~

 

Dressed in a jacket of tie-dyed illusion

Measuring moments to spare

Dangling truth in the seams of confusion

Camouflaged, nothing to wear

 

Fastened by Velcro in heart strings of passion

Sewn with a lingering thread

Patterns on paper with words now in fashion

Running the walkway instead

 

Fabrics are woven of promised affection

Altering hemlines anew

Polishing buttons to claim your reflection

Love it looks so good on you

Written with such flair, wit and brevity. Stunning use of metaphore, dear friend. Kudos! My heartfelt compliments on this masterpiece!

great pace...and rhyme scheme...but better yet...a perfect metaphor carried all the way throughout

this piece of writing.
Excellent....man, that Velcro sticks.
we had lots of illusions during the sixties...hope, but also illusions.

Yeah, I was going to add day-glo paints and black lights, Nehru jackets and patch covered bell bottoms. I honestly still wish I had a few of those Nehru jackets, though I am sure they wouldn't fit me now. Thanks Jacob, this is high praise coming from a poet of your talent.
