Theme: Shows

Sweeping

Miles and
Metres of
Sweeping
Robes,
Gowns and
Costumes
Worn by
Models and
Actresses in those
Pompous celebrity
Events and Shows

What happens
To those
Elaborate clothes
After the shows
Are over?

Are they binned,
Recycled, archived
Or shoved aside as
The excesses of an
Extravagant expenditure?

Those long-flowing
Yards and yards of
Silks and sequins
Designed for a
One-time wear
In a disparate
Lopsided world
Where many
Don't have
Much to wear....

Do fashion
Parades in
Red-carpet
Events show
Beauty at its
Best or with
Their overflowing
Cascades sweeping
The floors, tell the
Sweepers, it's time
For them to rest ;-)
