Green

The judge is snoring for victory of my conviction
Every night, I merry in comfort of his spouse
My skin has become a palimpsest of fleeting sensation
And each layer bore the imprint of my Doxie

Instead of a red carpet,  to flaunt my asset
I walk on a green mile, toward an electric chair
With fans on the other edge, cheering my conquest 
I am the champion of the west wing with horsehair

Dawn is here and I must face the light
In a roll of two, I lead
To cast my secrets in light without weight
I always lead, whether it's death or food

Without doubt,  I am the best on earth
I have fans cheering me at death

Quite a stiff sentence for making merry with the judge's wife, Ojingiri. Enjoyed your poem. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries, so you should be proud of your achievement. Best wishes, Carolyn
