6 Pair of Kicks is My Definition of 12 Steps

I sleep with my boots on,

Always ready for war.

Not a fashion zombie,

its me I dress for.

My shoes are my armor

My jacket, chain-mail.

Studs are my claws and

Sequins are my scales.

Leather is an exoskeleton,

A human defense.

Piling on layers

Is more than dress sense.

I love my TUK creepers

More than an accessory,

They aren’t just shoes,

They are an extension of me : )

Washing Monster

Washing Monster by Drooling Isn't Pretty

Washing Monster and Dryer Demon,

It’s over. You win.

I tried so hard to fight,

But I can’t bare the chagrin.

Another sock lost, missing its twin,

Another  sweater, worn tragically thin.

So here it is, you devilish two,

I wave my white flag, and surrender to you.

Alright, it’s not white, it’s slightly tinged blue,

But that’s your fault, that my jeans soaked through.

Washing Monster, do you care to hear?

The final straw, what pushed me here?

It was that fateful day, that made it clear,

The day I washed harem pants I hold dear,

I paced during the rinse cycle, staying near

Never leaving their side, out of fear

My nightmare came true when you opened your jaws,

The state of those pants were the final straw.

And you, Dryer Demon, do you mind?

You too, with my clothing, weren’t too kind.

You  made everything static and covered in lint,

You ruined my band tees by cracking the print.

:(

For the Love of Cardigans

A Sloppy Ode to Cardigans

by Drooling Isn’t Pretty

O cardigan, my knitted friend,

Thou art the less itchy cousin of the sweater.

Like a pullover but better,

My love for you transcends trends. 

Buttons, zipper, tie or v-neck,

The only question is cash or check.

I long for you in every shade,

In wool, in cotton, in brocade,

With bows, with pockets, with a hood,

I’d wear you all if I only could. 

And with these words, for you I yearn,

All I ask is for love in return.

Another Haiku

“A tee shirt can be,

So much more than a tee shirt.

Blood is the New Black”.

UPDATE: Darn!

A Haiku for Binglaba

Candy for your neck,

Drooling may not be pretty,

But Binglaba is.
