You tear to shreds
My already frayed edges.
A patch worked rescue attempt.
There is little strength found
in the weakness of this cloth.
Once adorned, a sequined delight
Still a shimmer in the right light
Restore to former glorious glamour.
Flat Iron this crinkled mess
wear with a vintage heart.
thanks to you all for some lovely positive comments, the actress in the photo is Joan Bennett :) ... bit of a girly one this hehe

This is neat. I like it ;-)
Wonderful poem with a gorgeous turn of phrase: "vintage heart", "sequinned delight" and "glorious glamour".
This is very good. 'former glorious glamaor' really sparkles. I love the photo too. Is it De Haviland? I do recognize the famous profile, from the 1930's maybe, but not sure of the name. Eyebrows nearly to her earlobes.
I like this a lot. And agree with Steve, a smashing title!
particularly like the reference to 'A patch worked rescue attempt' here, Rachel but i like the full piece and i think you've got it about the right length too.. x
