Poetry by A. H. Scott
“THREADED BY CHOICE”
If a world be a stage, then a stage be a world
Enough room for all, no need to crowd
Together we are with common bonds unbowed
Theatrics of fashion
Baby, take a bow
We’re all fibers in this play called life right now
Headliner, eyeliner
Spotlight, coiffed
Casual and sophisticated, like a flower anticipating bloom
Theatrics of fashion
For all, there is room
Rose petals from this bouquet flourish with shades so divine
Ladies nine, oh so fine
Soloist and chorus prepare their performance
Hemlines and fitted fabric may not look similar
But, all which is couture caresses their perimeter
Satin, silk, cotton, gabardine and chiffon
Threading that needle of equality we know we can’t go wrong
Flash of fashion’s sway with style that’s soaring
Without the combination of colors life would be boring
A single fiber from each has a hell of a lot to teach
Threaded by choice is a decision made
Strength of unity only can persuade
Woven threads together make for fabrics that pop with exuberance and swoon
Colors delight beneath sun and moon
Life’s beauty is the flair of a spectacular rainbow
Miracle it is, for that variety is what we make it so
Threaded by choice
Love is the swatch that overrules hate
Threaded by choice is one we all must make
Theatrics of fashion, we all have our place
Our hues may be different, but we all are of one human race
