Calling Heaven

Now thats what I call heaven.
One hundred lovely Asian women
all dressed up in their
finest silk and linen.
I've never seen so many fine
Hanboks since the last
Korean Thanksgiving.

A hanbok is a fine silk formal
dress worn by some Koreans on
Thanksgiving, New Years
and weddings.

James,

   Yes, a delight to read!

  A couple of weeks ago, I did some research on silk for fun.  Since you included silk in your poem, I thought you might enjoy some trivia  I learned:

If unwrapped, how long would the silk thread of a cocoon be?

If you said about a mile long, YOU ARE RIGHT!  Ding, Ding, Ding...

Next question:

If one cocoon gives a mile length of thread, how many cocoons will it take to make a shirt?

About a thousand cocoons or miles of silken thread...

I am just amazed.  Thought you might be, too.

Again, I enjoyed your poem.

PS  Thank you for your information, as well as a nice poem!

Thanks for sharing your little bit of heaven! I can see their beauty and your smiling face!

~ and it is so nice to see a man who appreciates women as much as you do.

Aloha hugs, Dear Island Man!
