    Fur La La

    It’s winter time,
    when fashion turns
    to furs of splendid
    softness. You can
    go to fashion shows
    in Paris or in London.
    Or, you can push
    the drapes aside
    and look out of
    your window.
    Cats and dogs display
    thick furs. But don’t
    forget to brush them.

    Fur La La

        Aww 🥰💜 thank you so much — that means a lot to me.
        I’m delighted the “premium croissant / of luxury and judgment” landed 😄 Chilli insists it’s an entirely accurate self-portrait.
        Thank you for the warm welcome to the Monday Poetry Prompt — it’s a joy to play in this space and respond to such evocative visuals.
