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 AP: 2nd place 2022, Honorable Mention 2023 Submitted on February 11, 2019 for contest FEBRUARY WK 2 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

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

Another smoothly moving poem; you describe her so well I can see her strutting down that catwalk.

The self confidence of the person in this poem overwhelms me, and makes me smile. "Strutting down the catwalk of life Walking five inches off the ground" - magical, Line.
