It’s glittering 4
It’s embellished 4
It’s sequined by hand and mouth 7
Labor of love 4
And then I see 4
I examine 4
I catch a fray at the seams 7
The dyes faded 4
Beads are missing 4
Can’t hide those stains 4
Wrinkles that won’t be pressed down 7
Anyway 3
I’ll just start on something new 7
Get me a twill weave 5
I’ll sow fresh Tahitian pearls 7
Across the bodice 5
I’ll embroider the collar 7
With beads of silver 5
I’ve got a silhouette in mind 8
