A Strange World NapoWriMo 2024, Day 4

Strange Fashion

Be it city, mountains or open range,
one thing on Earth that I find strange

is folks who purchase pants pristine,
then shred them, leaving  less blue jean,

revealing butt cheek, thigh and knee
to be the bulk of what we see.

Meanwhile, half a world away,
people toil night and day

to replace clothes they’ve worn to frays,
embarrassed at what  time displays.

If only we could work a trade
between the torn clothes naturally made

and those made by blade or rake,
simply for vain fashion’s sake.

The prompt for NaPoWriMo 2024, Day 4 is “The Strangest Thing in the World”

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
