I watch the carving of my face
behold the gestures of disgrace
from my eyes I've seen temptation
succumbed to its master allocation
into sheaths of cloths
for arms and legs protruded
essence of new 'look' extruded
into fits of child rage
to fit an oft acquired cage.

In leisure tweeds as a winter gnome
body's graced brushed herring bone
fancier than summoned spring drones
convened as suitors at queen bee domes...


I watch as wrinkles crease the face
clothed the arm that held the mace
stood fast against student famine
enjoyed chess, then backgammon...

Recollect first real acquisition
dark Godiva suit, in smart tradition
made in Italy, direct from the place
where local women still spun white lace


My suits have grown from solids into stipes
desires to dress well has met heeded advice:
better to accept the suits that family gives
when money is short as one strives to live...

Seems to me
the grace of face
fits the suits of need...

Linda,

the wardrobe is growing but more figuratively than literally through...I mean experiences accumulate

Ericc, Krawdad,

I'm having to deal more with the scope of the poem...lucky to see there is some musicality here
