Fashion is fabric and style,
Especially wearing a smile…
Accessories
Like bangles to please,
Its wearers and worth their while!
–
Simple to complex patterns,
And how tight a fit all matters…
A casual bust
Mostly untrussed,
Older convention shatters.
–
Included is arrangement of hair,
Interesting beauty here…
Curls or long flowing
A woman’s style showing,
Through good impressions there!

AUTHOR’S NOTE: He’s not trying to grandstand—just admit to his guilt of certain motives and conduct and ask forgiveness of those he has wronged–whether or not they feel they were. It is a part of his Christian belief…being reconciled to God and the ones he has wronged asking forgiveness of both. There is a Bible basis to all this, which the author believes by faith to be the transcribed word of God to be followed and obeyed. Especially when he doesn’t! Questions/Comments are always welcome.

Writer of poetry,
The “fashion” got away from me…
Chasing skirts
Many women hurts,
Of this I am guilty!
–
Sought “readers” unsuccessfully,
The hidden motive–to see…
What interested
Where saints shouldn’t tread
And pester them endlessly!
–
The many unreturned visits,
Prove out how wrong is it…
I know my sin
Repenting therein,
Stop this practice is the solution exquisite!
–
I will stillreach out,
In subjects not ruled out…
Walk in the flesh
Heavily risks death,
Gotta pull some hot irons out!
–
The upshot–some I’ll follow–
The rest–if they visit tomorrow…
I’ll respond graciously
But not the pest–not me–
I’ve sinned–I repent in sorrow!
–
My actions toward those of whom I’ve spoken,
From now on–contact is broken…
This I must do
So they’ll feel safe too,
No need of me in their business poking.

Wearing this O.O.T.D.,
Is Demi Monde certainly…
Underneath
Is a silvery sheath,
The jacket fits perfectly!

Stranger outcomes happen,
When opportunity’s tapping,
Wanting in
And you begin
Writing ideas you’re trapping!
–
He’s written ’bout Christ and trains–
Weather seems worth one’s pains….
Fashion poems are new
As something to do,
And the challenge takes working brains!
–
I’d say it is channeling energy,
Most of which has left me….
Shapes and sizes
And stylish surmises,
Still need a bard’s entrée.
–
“An eye for the women.” one said,
Focusing on their clothes instead..
“Clothes make the man”
And women, and can
Leave little more to be said!
–
YET–a poet describes,
Details that emanate vibes…
Along a track
That likes feedback,
Both positive and wise!

Finding a nearly-sixty-year-old,
Fashion poet leaves some rather cold…
A shock to see
The elderly,
Actively trends they behold!
–
He sin’t always a saint,
But postive pictures he’ll paint…
Good exposure and pride
Knowing someone’s on their side,
Hoping his maleness isn’t a taint!
–
Again he must balance his views,
Determined to spread good news…
His challenge is to write
Poetic fashion insight,
Though alas, bias for certain styles–skews!
–
A fan of the button-up blouse,
It’s clean lines he’ll endorse…
Other styles
He compiles,
To show what they are, of course!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
What does a fashion blog do,
In my case, to give ample views…
Of the currently stated
Fashion related,
To people who want looks new!
–
For me, an additional ken,
To write a suitable poem…
Appearance or design–
Either can rhyme–
Expressing lyrically then…!
–
Not only women count,
But am showing men’s–a small amount–
The opposite gender
I deem more tender,
And worth every verse that comes out!

–
Simple sheer-like pink and black,
Certainly have no lack…
Of modesty
And mystery,
Watching a woman flower!
–
Delicate pink satin top,
Pencil skirt can traffic stop…
At least guys’
Appreciative eyes,
Care less for how she is cropped.
–
Ladies see that it’s cool,
Stylish and makes men school…
Pretty in pink
A girl likes to think,
Professional-looking cool!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
Notice in the street,
Comments on clothes you meet…
Bring offense
And a person’s defense,
On remarking their fashion is sweet!
–
Women do this all the time,
Acceptable with little crying…
But a man
Threatens and can,
Be thought too personally prying!
–
So glad that Demi Monde
And others don’t mind my response…
Half-way ’round the world
she’s a pretty safe girl,
No way I’d swim that “pond”.
–
Being nearly sixty years-old,
I suppose I’m being bold…
If I earn their trust
I never will bust,
Out of my harness until I’m too old!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
It must take courage to pose,
In plain or fancy clothes…
The public eye
(including guys),
In essence the whole world she shows!
–
More for a purpose than money–
Some responses are rummy–
Courageous means
Fulfilling fond dreams,
Good reason to flatten that tummy!
–
Amateurs know whom they are,
Accepting themselves above par…
Not letting shape
Become like red tape,
But showing we all can star!
