Fashion Passion

 

 

In days of yore the dandies wore

 embroidered clothes in colours gay.

Fine velvets, silks and coarse tussore.

The current fashions of the day.

 

Each dandy felt he must display

 Like peacocks vying for a mate.

No price they thought too high to pay

Their refined taste to demonstrate..

 

Beau Brummel won everlasting fame.

By wearing only black and white.

He was a master at the game

 and in due course he was proved right.

 

The followers of fashion fail.

One style cannot suit everyone,

the latest trends grow quickly stale.

So set a style that’s yours alone.

 

Ignore the experts pointedly

 as they ignore your shape and size.

No need to dress expensively.

You wear what suits you if you’re wise.

Very nicely done, the meaning almost carries a subtle touching effect, and reflection to the meaning,
its blissfully conveyed with detailed wording meant to accentuate the metaphorical imagery, and that
being the passionate way a writer dresses, the entire play on thoughts and sentencing has am effect its
own, all around, and enjoyable poem to set the imagination to ponder, colorful, vivid emotion, thanks.
