The Denim Plant

Love wears well.

The denim plant drinks light above--
true raiment sewn by God.
It’s made upon the loom of love
and wears a coat of sod.

When zephyrs stir the inseams bend,
three leaves seek out the sky.
It uses lots of nitrogen
and chlorophyll for dye.

Nearby an oak with hardhat on
stands tall and tough as wood.
Still humble denim greets the dawn
as any upstart should.

I love to walk the forest deep
to see the denim plant.
Within its genes green bar codes keep--
I’d love to watch...but can’t.

The denim plant addresses all
who cotton to the ground.
The thread of life accepts the call
where seeds of love are found.

This image of denim growing from the ground has made me smile...makes me think of how so much of our clothing comes from the sun be the way of the cotton plants.

intriguing title

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

I simply love "The Denim Plant." The word usage is succinct but elegant, classic but contemporary. It has a beautiful earthiness about it that we can all relate to.

What is born must shrink
Wrinkle
And finally fade

Genes maketh the man
Man maketh jeans
