"yvette" poems - Hello Poetry

DRESSMAKERS to the stars J’Aton have turned designer detectives after one of their most valuable couture gowns was stolen from a bride’s home last week. The one-of-a-kind gown, which was stolen from Leanne Bartucca’s Greenvale residence along with other valuables, is estimated to be worth more than $40,000. It weighs more than 18kg, and features intricate 100-year-old vintage French lace that has been carved and sculpted onto leather and layered tulle. J’Aton designers Anthony Pittorino and Jacob Luppino, who also made the wedding gowns of Rebecca Judd, Nadia Bartel, Jodi Gordon and Yvette Prieto, wife of Michael Jordan, are appealing to the public in the hope that if it goes for sale online, someone will recognise the distinctive dress. “We are so devastated for our dear friend Leanne; that dress has a special place in our hearts and is so sentimental to us all,” the pair said. “It’s a dress that we created especially for Leanne, it has her and her husband’s initials embroidered into the train and we just hope that if anyone recognises the distinguishable design for sale on websites or social media, that they report it to the police.” Ms Bartucca, who wore the dress in March, 2014, says she has been devastated by its theft. “It’s such a sentimental thing; my family and the J’Aton boys have been checking the internet daily in the hopes that we will see it for sale,” she said. “I had dreams of using the fabric from it for my children’s christening gowns, and even framing a section of the fabric for our home. “[The thieves] definitely knew what they were doing. As a former fashion buyer, I was surprised how much they knew — what they left behind was just as telling as what they took. “They could tell the difference between real and fake jewellery, they left certain shoe brands behind and obviously went straight for the J’Aton dress, which was covered in tissue paper and in a white box at the top of the wardrobe.” Police said they were investigating whether the burglary was in relation to another in the same area.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/white-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/black-formal-dresses

The mirror was there when we moved in, Full length, and stood in the hall, Right where the lounge room opened up Against the opposite wall. Yvette was startled at first, she said, ‘That mirror gave me a fright, To see a figure suddenly there Stare back in the dead of night.’ ‘You’ll soon get used to it there, Yvette, There’s nowhere else it can go, Once you have moved your chattels in And filled up the house below.’ ‘It’s strange though, isn’t it,’ said Yvette, ‘It reflects the wrong way round, My right is left and my left is right Like an opposite me it’s found.’ ‘You’d better tell her you’re not impressed, That she’s taken half your face, And moved it to the opposite side In a sign of twisted grace.’ For Yvette had one green eye, the right, And a pale blue eye, the left, So what stared back from that mirror there Was a back to front Yvette. She’d stand in front of that mirror there And would pose, and raise her hand, ‘I raise my right, and it seems to me I’m reversed in mirror land.’ I said, ‘It’s the same for everyone But you seem to be obsessed,’ ‘It isn’t me,’ said Yvette, ‘you’ll see When she steps out through the glass.’ I woke at night, in the early light And Yvette was not in bed, I found her down by the mirror there Where the morning light was shed. I crept up slowly behind her there And saw what Yvette could see, That figure, facing away from her, But never a sign of me. ‘I told the woman to turn around And she did, I see my back!’ But so did I, it was such a shock Like a brought-on heart attack, Yvette went missing the following day Though I searched both high and low, But didn’t stare at the mirror there Just in case she was… you know! I called her name when the evening came And she crawled right into bed, ‘You scared me out of my mind,’ I cried, ‘But I don’t know why,’ she said. She gave me a long, fulfilling kiss When I stared, as one bereft, For this Yvette had a blue eye, right And a green one on the left. David Lewis Paget

Baby I remember the first time I laid eyes on you You were so beautiful I cried in my mind Knowing I had found true love..I wanted you, I desired you Even though I didn’t know how you felt Now 3 weeks have past, My devotion to you was meant to last We’ve laughed, We’ve chatted, We’ve shown love We’ve shared our feelings, I smiled..you smiled back The next level makes me happy with excitement Our love will withstand the test of time, I truly adore you Yvette You are my heart, my only valentine

i couldn’t tell you the number of times they’ve told me my family of seven numbers only five. i couldn’t tell you the number of times they’ve told me, “they’re NOT YOUR BROTHERS. lydia is your sister, but they’re BLACK. they can’t be part of your family,” though all three are adopted. i couldn’t tell you the number of times they’ve looked at my family as if it is BROKEN, believing there’s NO WAY those two little boys with DARK skin belong in that family with WHITE skin, brown hair, and blue eyes, the perfect depiction of a german family. this is my REALITY. it TERRIFIES me, watching them look watching them see nothing but the skin that is darker than their own. no one ever questions that my little sister with her FAIR skin is my sister, but when they see my brothers, they don’t understand how we’re related. in what world do we live that this PREJUDICE is allowed? in what world do we live that JUDGING people simply by their color is acceptable? they say that it isn’t, that they don’t do it, that they know black people—are even friends with a few— so there’s no way that they’re RACIST. and yet, it happens every day. we see it on the news all too frequently but brush it off as insignificant, somebody else’s problem. PHILANDO CASTILE. TARIKA WILSON. LAQUAN MCDONALD. REKIA BOYD. OSCAR GRANT. AIYANA JONES. ORLANDO BARLOW. SEAN BELL. MICHAEL BROWN. YVETTE SMITH. BOTHAM JEAN. ERIC GARNER. TAMIR RICE. GEORGE FLOYD. maybe you recognize these names. these names are only a fraction of UNARMED african americans— men, women, even children— KILLED because police FEARED the COLOR of their skin. how can we allow this to happen? they excuse racism, claiming it ceased long ago, saying that because there are laws against segregation, that because those laws were enacted, people automatically follow them. then WHY do you know these names? i hope to one day live in a world where I don’t have to fear for my brothers’ lives as they grow older. a world where I know they won’t have to fight RACISM and PREJUDICES while following their dreams. i hope to one day live in a world where we see more than just the color of someone’s skin. a world where we can learn to ACCEPT and LOVE, appreciating diversity. i hope to one day live in a world where my family is seen as just that, a FAMILY. a WHOLE, LOVING FAMILY regardless of the color of my brothers’ skin.
