Premiere Contest WinnerCourt of Euphoric Fifty-Somethings

the aura, godspeed ahead.
her countenance more than slaked,
it’s heated and apple baked.

fifty-somethings march with time…
sue ellen’s court supporting their queen,
with fanfare tea parties and costumes to preen.

steeped in fanciful color, like a dream at seventeen.
friendship and euphoria, sisters, well-bred 
primped in gowns, fedoras and blossom in purple and red.
