Alyssa Lorette Poet Free verse

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.
