Riveting Thread

Riveting Thread Riveting designs of antiquitity Recovered ruins of the distant past Mix and match with modern taste Adaptations and variations Cropped tops High waisted pants Shoulder pads Corsets Tie dye tee shirts And acid jeans Fringe Flapper strings and beads Sequins Earnings And head bands or ornaments Of the 1920s Vintage Classic, unique pieces Collecting dust in the mere hour Porcelain doll Annabelle, Her pout lips And rosy, droopy cheeks Find her chin Her aquamarine eyes Complimentary of the green olive of her puffy sleeved dress Her head Of strawberry blond tresses Her cream, lace ribbon Tied upon her curly strands Embellished Elizabethan Glossy polyester In turtleneck Two bronze bows tied upon her chest Adorned with faded yellow wallpaper and synthetic flower , Golden and peachy hues Masked by charcoal grime Some two fingers chipped as tooth Laced up brown cowgirl boots Flat heel Clicking horseshoes Beguiled is the eye that dismisses her rough countenance Her owner knew not of her quality Her value Her brevity A knowing eye prizes such finds Collectables in his treasure box Marckincia Jean Free verse 09/03/19
