Fashion's Suicide

by Simple Sensation   May 16, 2007


Today Fashion is planning to commit suicide;
No more "what's in" and "what's not",
For Fashion today will whisper goodbye...

An end of an era will be created;
When Fashion will finally die
A new start - Without Fashion in our lives...

No need for models to be stick thin,
No need for girls to wish they were them -
For later today - Fashion will commit suicide.

So it's perfectly ok if you cannot afford designer clothes;
You need no longer to wear what's "in".
Because now Fashion... will slowly die.

Maybe this era will be the start -
Where thin is no longer in.
Along with this, eating disorders may vanish

Or at least become rare. The size zero debate
Will not be an issue. Society would no longer be
Bombarded with images screaming, "Thin is in".

So maybe our self esteem would improve;
Maybe our body image would no longer be an issue.
If only, Fashion decided to commit suicide.

    No more what's in and what's not, = No more "What's In" and "What's Not"

    ok; if you cannot = ok if you cannot (emit the semicolon)

    cloths= clothes(?)

    Fashion... will = emit the ellipsis (fashion will)

    debate;
    Will not be an issue =
    debate
    will not be an issue

    Bombarded; with images = emit the semicolon

    will no longer= would no longer (the tense in this line must match with the tense in the above line)

    Interesting poem... kinda a rhyming free verse poem. I enjoyed it, and it seemed a little but like you were trying too hard to take something that was cliche and tried to make it unique, which was successful but I think you may have tried a little too hard.

    However, the positive aspects were your vocabulary, which was very well trained throughout, and also your rhyme-words, which were not overused or cliche in themselves.

    Very well done.

    5/5

    "So maybe our self esteem would improve;
    Maybe our body image will no longer be an issue.

    When you think about fashion, its one word, yet it has such an impact on our lives, our pockets, our appearances and our self esteem. Its a dream to imagine a day where fashion will not phase us anymore. A dream. Great poem!

    Take Care.

    Very insightful poem. Fashion, a topic not usually seen in poems and this was interesting. I must say this topic sucked me since it was so extraordinary. Your definitely worked wonders with a topic untouched.

    "So maybe our self esteem would improve;
    Maybe our body image was no longer an issue.
    If only, Fashion decided to commit suicide."

    In this stanza I feel that "was no longer an issue" should be "will not be an issue" just my personal thought for in the rest of the poem your referring to the future. 5/5
