My Dream Dress

Priya Tomar

Let me stitch my dream dress

Fabric of faith, a gown of grace

With hope threads and lovely lace

Not hers not yours— it'mine, new and fresh

 

I punch the buttons of bravery

Spend my soul's sewing treasury

No rainbow beauty , no comouflage

I like the color of character and courage

 

No Jaipuri veil, no chanderi silk

No parrot-green, no white like milk

Let Deccan keep its cotton charm

And kalamkari' grace South's arm

 

My classy dress is mine

In my dream dress I'll shine

        Beautiful sonnet, my friend! “I like the color of character and courage”…what a line. You didn’t just craft a dress...you claimed your space. No borrowed fabric, no borrowed voice. And yes…it sings, Priya. Beautifully done. 🌹👏
