LAUNDRY
The yellow, pale from the beginning,
Has faded to a pleasing cream.
Linen, lined like parchment,
In need of an iron.
From this shirt an Auden
Could be fashioned.
If his spirit does not mind
My domestic irreverence.
Better than polite disdain
Is to consider this a poem.

Hi Geoffrey - thought this was a very nice cameo - unusual topic an ode to a shirt but it is that originality that makes it work for me

Like the referencing of Auden and his comments on free verse. A very fulfiling, complete and pleasing poem.
