From Poetry Jam, comes the challenge: "This week write a poem about jeans: someone who looks good in jeans,
tattered jeans, jeans that you have to lie down to button up,
comfortable jeans, stinky jeans."
"BONUS- Write a poem small enough to fit in the pocket of jeans. 20 lines or less."
I have written a poem small enough to fit in most pockets of jeans. It is 20 lines or less. However, I don't know if it would still be able to fit in a pocket of my poem jeans. There wasn't much extra room...the late 60's early 70's weren't "big on" baggy jeans!
I remember
when I wore
my authentic
surplus store,
real sailor,
Navy blue,
deepest ocean
cobalt hue,
bell-bottomed,
tight, lean,
hip-hugging me
favorite jeans.
Groovy.

I don't own any jeans now. But I do have an incredibly comfy jean skirt with awesome pockets!

DeleteOh yes and i love the fit in a pocket note. Well done.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they had pockets, but they weren't too roomy once you got in the jeans!
DeleteI remember older girls wearing bell bottoms. I envied them. Now not so much!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry you missed them! I think they made a comeback a couple of years ago, but didn't quite catch on again.
