Melancholy

She took a pose utterly divine. Lips caught the light as they shone like wine. Eyes caught by the cameraman’s flashes. With the languid flutter of lashes. As all eyes were upon her. Never allowing a smile to occur.

A worthy top winner! Congrats! There are likely many moments like this amidst the rich and famous as they drown in melancholy. Ever read the poem “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson?
