Haiku Monday: VELVET



Dressed for Chill:

Silken velvet's sheen
deftly cut and sewn cocoons.
Winter's lux armor.

Chickory's hosting this week, so make sure to stop by,
even if you don't play. Velvet's a brilliant theme.

Wow. "deftly cut and sewn cocoons" is great. I'm picturing that model nekkid except for jorts!

Chickory: I think you and I share a similar sensibility about clothing/fashion, if not exactly in style, then in purpose. I have always thought about dressing as a form of suiting up, which is pretty difficult to do in the summer. Too much "exposure." Plus, how luxurious is a cotton tee and a flip flop. Puhleeze :o)

Troll: Of course you are. And I'm proposing that you do the right thing and picture her in Daisy Dukes instead.

DeepBlue: Back at cha. Thanks for jumping into the fray below :o)

Bleak: That sounds like the title of a rock song, "In the Ice Palace with a Kalishnikov." Or maybe a painting?

Boxer: You go with your bad self.

Czar: Whoa. Nico was way more beautiful, though.
