Notes About The Poem

Catwalk of Life

Two-hundred dollar hairdo
Cascading off her shoulders
Dressed in a little black dress
And Louboutin stilettos

Leaving behind a trailing cloud
Of extravagant luxurious perfume
Flaunting the tiera of a princess
Strutting down the catwalk of life

Walking five inches off the ground
This svelt slanky body devoid of carbs
Ruby red lipstick over a flashy smile
Crystals dangling from her ears

Bejeweled gems round her long bare neck
Glancing at you with her kohl-accented eyes
An exuberant smile exploding with the
Confidence of youthful carefree buoyancy

Gershon Wolf February 13, 2019 at 10:35 PM I'm the wrong gender for this one. LOL. Seriously, you've sure described those fashion scarecrows on those fashion runways to a 'T.' (As for me, I'll take a furry little kitten advancing down one, any day. Oh, well, I'm just an accident of birth, I guess). Nicely done, Line! :) gw Line Gauthier February 13, 2019 at 11:10 PM Thanks for your most appreciated visit and comment, Gershon. I love kittens better too. LOL
