Glitz Glam

In the world of glitz and glam Allured she was to it's shine Seeing dollar signs and adventure To become a different kind She knew the door she was going through For in media spread it tells To ignore it's hidden obstacles And it's abyss of darkened hells The photographers leer surely professional Capturing an innocent in her pose Cogs turning in his background As his willingness in him grows A click, the shutter, then charm As he instructs her every move Closer he becomes to the intended His needle to be in her groove As she lies there spent and used Like so many in past years before Distraught, fading dollar signs Saying goodbye from the glitz glam floor http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-15.php

This is so sad my friend. It gives me the picture of an innocent young girl who wants to be rich and famous and is willing to do whatever it takes to get there. Then she finds these people who make and break stars are wolves who use and discard more than they help. Good job here. God Bless, JB

Interesting work that can apply to so many areas of life..Very creative and insightful work that should get you noticed..Enjoyed reading this morn..Thanks for stopping by..Your comment was uplifting..I remember when Rocky was run over by a suv..He ran from us into the road..My husband went to him and picked him up..We took off to the vet..Before we got there Rocky was up looking trying to see where he was going..Rocky had internal injuries and a broken leg..Ignoring the leg he stood..Sara

I was giving human qualities to the Eagle..I have read that an Eagle rises above the storm..Since I don't see Eagles here (even though there is a Southern Eagle),I really don't know about there characterists..Have a great day!Sara
