Vanity Nemesis

Within the mendicant monolithic mirror The fraudulent faces that are never nearer For in the whimsical wonderland of Alice Parasitic pretenders in the pompous palace As we listen to the pretentious preachers We give long life to the loveless leechers For the masking mirrors regrettably reflect Flamboyant fantasies of life’s nemesis neglect.

Powerful poem you have here my friend. I really love some of your lines. For the masking mirrors regrettably reflect. How cool is that? Good luck in the contest WW...Maria

I love so many of these phrases, "parasitic pretenders, loveless lechers," The use of alliteration makes them more applicable. A bulls eye, my winged friend.

What a cool poem, your use of words and phrases and in this case, rhyming just floors me. You are very talented my friend. To make something that is as abstract as this flow so smoothly is incredible.
