Analysis of Passion over fashion



Garments worn in slight distress
may signal wilful wantonness
delighting in dishevelment
enhanced by lusty devilment
A scarf about the shoulder slips
a belt displaced by shapely hips
the fashion items on display
may soon be found in disarray

Bodice laces ease undone
Snags in stockings start to run
A skirt rides up exposing thighs
A mask that doesn't quite disguise
Luscious lips and sultry eyes

Though haute couture commands respect
My preference is  benign neglect
Whilst one admires perfect styling
Random flaws are more beguiling
