Plaid

 



Plaid 


Intersecting lines

City blocks, parallel streets

Straight rows and columns 


Flannel button-downs 

Matching family PJs

Holiday bow ties 


Labrador collars 

Shiny plastic Wellingtons 

Quilted bedspread squares 


Autumn dinner tablecloths

Little girls’ hand-smocked dresses

Business meeting socks


Gift-wrapping paper

Woolen scarves, matching mittens

Hats with poofs on top 


Winter horse blankets 

Gold-buttoned dressy blazers

LL Bean tote bags 


Timeless classic plaid

  1. So many plaid items! I can picture each item you mention. (I had to look up Wellingtons.) I'm curious about the inspiration for your poem, Kim. Did you notice all the plaid items and decide to catalog them? Or was it a prompt? It's very interesting. The family pajamas made me smile. Yes, "timeless classic plaid."

    1. Thank you! Denise, I think the Christmas ornaments that I covered is what inspired this - it got me thinking of plaid’s sudden popularity.
