Fashion Haiku


Sometimes it is difficult is be concise. I decided to give myself some perimeters that will keep me tethered to keeping it brief. I’ve written some musings about fashion in the form of Japanese Haiku poems, which uses very few syllables within 3 lines.

M. Marcel Duchamp.

Isabella Blow,
Anna Piaggi- both gone
the field lies barren.

Not all and yet most
who went to the Met Ball served
High School prom theme looks.

In her black mesh dress
Miley Cyrus did me proud
I used mesh so much.
