This post is a poem written by anja leigh, l.a. poet. photo credit goes to her too. stella dottir is a designer of luxe and luscious clothing, who inspires poetry! her shop is @ 430 south main, click on her name to visit her website...but give yourself a treat and visit her (and brandr!) in person.stella
she adorns main street
festooned in black lace
hair plaited and piled
yellow, purple, fuchsia
ribbons entwined
brandr is her bengal companion, posing atop the treadle sewing machine, swaggering to the cerise couch to survey his everywhere. he does not pause.
stella is chiffon
satin, taffeta, organza
cashmere, bouclé, gossamer
bohemian elegance
daughter of Iceland
via hurricane Katrina
but not adrift
brandr stretches, yawns, struts to the damask chair, his sole purpose to capture attention. he allows caresses and demands praises, as his due.
they are royal
are the fabric of fantasy
are homespun finery
exotic companions –
they will be eminent
probably
