Trunks full of clothes mock me,
Their actual number Shock me.
I am a hoarder I admit and state.
That suit I wore on our first date,
The engagement sari is special,
The wedding sari is ultimate.
The dress I won in a competition
Has a place of pride in my collection
The nightie I had worn
When my baby girl was born,
The same lucky one,
I had worn for my son.
There are clothes of all shapes and sizes
Piles and piles of the same surprises
The fainthearted ones.
I am okay with it, I swear,
Yet always feel I have nothing to wear.
I do possess a wide collection,
But when it comes to selection
I fret and I fume
They all seem so out of tune.
There is no appropriate outfit
For the appropriate occasion.
Everything is either,
too loose or too tight ,
too loud or too light,
too out-dated or too modern.
And whenever I am at a loss,
as to what to wear,
with my hubby I reason,
and go out and buy an outfit
just right for the occasion.

That's the story of my life…felt like it was written for me!! Lovely, Lucks….:)
lolol I thought it was great. I actually have a hat that I have not worn for years but I cannot throw it out. It is from a time when I lived in Arizona and holds memories. Funny how we are. See not just women

Great one,Sulekha..and I can understand where clothes are concerned.
Would say "typical woman" but I don't want to get in trouble so I'll refrain lol
Amazing! What a wonderful poet you are.
My everyday story expressed so perfectly by you. I think it's every woman's moment of panic when she opens an overflowing closet and can't find a single thing to wear!!!!
@Mari, I am so glad I connected with like-minded people. Thanks for the love.
@Alpana, We all are so clothes-hungry 🙂 Thanks.
@David, Thanks for not saying it, appreciate your restraint.
@Sonia, I am honored that a great writer like you, likes my attempt at poetry. Thank you .
@Eva, There had to be a soul connection between us, Dost pichle and agle janam ki. Thanks.
Sulekkha, Perfect! you have combined my thoughts and my daughter's habit of hoarding….. thanks for putting my thoughts to words without ever reading them or meeting me….Loved it….please continue.
