2010 - 365 Poems

My Year as a Poet by The Crafty Scribe

This is an experiment to write a poem or a short verse a day, and post it to this blog.

I'm not a trained poet, just an enthusiastic scribe wanting to create something new each day. I don't truly know my stanza from my meter, but I hope to improve and get my poetic license someday! Expect the weird, the strange and the inner workings of the Crafty Scribe's mind.

Please pass on the blog address to all your verse and lyrical loving friends. I hope you will join me, and read my daily scribbling.

"My Passion for Chanel and Fashion." (Entry 71)

I like Dior, Prada and Gucci,
Versace, YSL, Burberry and Pucci.
I think that Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein,
Tommy Hilfiger and Cavalli are all quite fine.
If you gave me Louis Vuitton, Boss, DKNY or Kors,
and Miu Miu, Mulberry, Moschino; I would be yours!
Have you met Valentino, Chloe, and Chris Kane?
Also the two R's - Oscar and Sonia, long may they reign.
I admire Armani, Bottega, Celine and D&G,
Gaultier, Marni, but there's just one house for me.
In Parisian Fashion - a leading light.
Be it high style or pret-a-porter. They are sure to delight.
With No. 5 in the air, head to their salon,
It’s a different world in rue Cambon.
A glimpse of tweed, a Camellia or two.
Dressed in jersey make your debut.
Leather quilting, pearls, gold chains by the score.
Add a little black dress, and you’re out of the door.
In a ballet pump, or two-tone kitten heel,
In black, white or beige, it’s sure to appeal.
That famous logo, whenever I see,
My heart skips a beat, at Coco Chanel's CC.
Their cosmetics and perfumes, I continue to hoard. 
But, oh, the elegant clothes! I wish I could afford.
I love wearing my vintage blazer find,
Without my sunglasses and specs, I'd be near enough blind!
I wear my black flats, and earrings with pride.
When I bought my 2.55 handbag, I cried.
With Karl Lagerfeld in charge, it’s sure to endure,
Fashion’s great house of chic haute couture.
The little black dress, handbag and perfect suit.
Mademoiselle Chanel, Gabrielle, it's you we salute.
And with this, I send you a Rouge Coco kiss! xx
