Caren Krutsinger Poet Dramatic Verse

Fashionably Deadly

Movie star eyes
Perfect caramel skin
Screech. That would be too perfect.
Change that to something pastier
Alabaster maybe

The monster in the mirror 
Smiled with her green eyes
Vivian Leigh maybe?
She watched her face transform
But she added the caramel
And she looked more like
Sophia Loren

Maybe brown eyes? She suggested
The magic mirror was losing patience
Make up your mind it said.
Did it really matter
What you look like
When you lure a man to his death?

The mirror’s grin widened.
She patted her auburn curls in place
And picked up her cape.
She was ready for the hunt.
