    Was this from my challenge in FOP? I said to use wool and you diiiiid lol. I love this. I love that "it's not yet winter" you started out with --- I love the phrasing.

    I wasn't sure the meaning of this poem really, but being it's in the life category I can only think of consumerism and materialism. It's changing weather so we must go out and search for the newest, latest, greatest... only for them to be in a heap on the floor (or in the closet)..

    OR it could mean how we put a mask on ourselves -- we layer up in coldness in fear of being vulnerable, yet we stare at magazine pages and wish to be bare, vulnerable, fierce.

    I love how your poetry can make me think in many ways, literally or metaphorically. Brilliant, m'dear!

      Well I actually just bought some new clothes because it's almost winter and I barely had any long-sleeved shirts. I was sifting through my closet and thinking: jeez, I've got lots of clothes. I did also have to think about your challenge though. :') So my initial message would be what you said first. The second sounds like an interesting approach to reading my poem too, to be honest!

    Judges comment:

    So many descriptive pieces in this poem overload the senses and overload my heart. Truly a beautifully crafted piece, each item placed seemingly well thought out and full of intent. I agree with the comments on this poem and they took the words out of my mouth.. the phrasing is particularly beautiful and interesting, and the language is absolutely superb
