POEM STARTER
Write a poem that incorporates clothing somehow.
What you wear, how you wear it, and where you go in it can shape many things. Explore clothing however you please!

The girl in baggy hand-me-downs,
And shoes from dollar store,
May be the strongest soul you’ll ever meet.
The woman in the Prada suit,
With blonde cascading curls
May drown in misery and self defeat.
You never know what’s underneath,
The clothing that they wear.
Fabric does not show what’s in the heart.
A picture speaks 1000 words,
But words will sometimes lie.
And pictures can be eas...
Why are you wearing those boots to church?
Why are you wearing those things it’s eighty degrees outside?!
Why are you wearing that to the zoo your gonna be walking a lot.
My response
Because I like them
Because they are cool
Because I like boots
What I really want to say;
Because I’m dressed from my head down to my boots
Because everytime I put them on I focus on my...
You tell me I look beautiful
That nothing on this earth can compare
But there is no disguising the tone in your voice
You know how I despise it
Yet you strangle me with it
Till my eyes bulge
The frilly sleeves are cutting me
Leaving braclets adorned with rubies
Yet you ask whats wrong
And as tears of vinegar
Run down your face you wonder
"Oh why would my little princess leave me?"
Thats why...
You tell me I look beautiful
That nothing on this earth can compare
But I can see the sinister look in your eyes
You know how much I despise it
Yet you shove it on me
Like I’m your little doll
You ask me what’s wrong
Even though you know
I’m suffocating
You wonder
‘she was so young, why would she do this?’
That’s why
No matter how hard I try
I’m still wearing the dress...
Are you happy?
Like daisies bending in the summer breeze,
Like a new moons glow on a quiet night,
Like a warm nit sweater on the first day of winter.
How happy are you?
Happy like a baby panda rolling down a hill,
Or happy like a bumble bee’s first taste of sweet honey.
Are you happy like a seal, diving through the ocean,
Or are you happy like a fresh baked cookie on a sad afternoon?
Do you s...
My clothing bawled up in corners around the room
Still wearing the same thing I was the other day
I can’t bring myself to do anything
Motivation couldn’t come to soon
I loved you
I meant it
You broke me
Do relish in it?
Always picking my shattered pieces off the ground
Trying to keep them safe
Till you bump me again
And there they go
Scattered all around
Again…
Again,
I thought I mea...
at my old school
we had no uniform
but there was a dress code
girls could not show midriffs
or shoulders
pants could not show your legs
and skirts couldn’t rise above fingertip length
tank tops and cropped shirts
jeans with rips and “too-short” skirts
were forbidden
they were “distracting”
boys could not wear hats
that was it
boys couldn’t wear
hats
they were forbidden
do you know the...
They’re real,
you know?
Those
gnomes
steal
your
souls.
I mean socks.
They steal your…
socks.
Keep the doors locked -
it won’t matter.
Sock Gnomes will come in through the window - they’ll use a ladder.
Keep your socks
upon your feet, friend.
Tie them tight
while you’re asleep, friend.
Always dry them
on low heat, fri...
