Poem: The tyranny of fashion

Delicately decorated bodices
Worn over firmly laced corsets
And voluminous skirts
With beautiful embroideries
Exquisite jewellery
Tinkling from pale necks

But here’s the twist:
In the shape of back distortion
Shortness of breath
Causing girls to faint
And a hoop petticoat makes
Something as basic as sitting down
Quite a challenge


Something I wrote while working with my EE. As most times when I try to write, there's no good structure, as I tend to focus on the purpose rather than how it is presented. I should really practice and try to become better when it comes to that.

Time: About an hour
