Queen Vanity

Golden gems bought Queen Vanity a plastic face. Lost in lace and silky bubbles; she trod her kingdom. Her head held high; she hummed with the blue jays as she paced. Fumes of her Jasmine made them a victim. 'Twas moonlight, however, that melted her mask. That bisque metal crown had nowhere else to bask. In the limpid mirror, she couldn't host her masquerade. All it could espy was more than what she displayed. ~ Written On: July 7th, 2017 Contest: Modern vanity Sponsor: Lewis Raynes Won: 4th place

Vanity, one of the seven deadlies. It affects all but some more than others. In the end, on your deathbed, none of it matters. certainly can't take it with you. Great poem, Alyssa. I hope to see you in the winner's circle:)
