Notes About The Poem

Flash Cash

Her iconic smile in repose:

              she shied from the camera's flash.
 

But Shylock's pound of flesh

               prized by paparazzi,


was paid by Princess Diana...

              her bloody crash, fueled by cash.

Your words reflect that painful truth of cameras Emile. Princess Diana was mostly played along paparazzi even after her tragic death when she suffocated with it throughout her life. So many love her till now and will always do. Congratulations on your win! :)

The greed of those can never be undone. Emile, my poetic friend. I've never tried this form before. You have a great way of sharing your writing skills. I'm still fond of her smile. Sometimes I still find it unbelievable how ones face can be hounded by those who can't be trusted. I'm very happy to read this by you. Always and forever PD...
