God made the flowers
To compete with your beauty
But they always lose...

In life's pageant,
Some seek,yet come unstuck-
Whilst others from misfortune pluck

A rental car ought be comfy
  not crimped, cramped or bumpy

Oohs and Aahs ~ save them for pageants
  Roominess now mine; you keep the combatants...

Lovely Linda loved her lashes.
Batted them in pageant sashes.
With a cig in her mouth.
Until one lash fell south.
Then that lash went up in ashes....

exhilarated

by pageant of vibrant hills--

The Miss Universe pageant should be mirth,
it is a scam for all that it’s worth,
now this can’t be denied;
it can’t be justified,
‘cause all the winners are here from Earth....

Grandma's Beard

Once the great grandma had beard;
But the goat had a kick for her beard.
For a pageant he hired it one day
And never returned.
Look, he wears it till today!...

A
pageant
unveiling
before our eyes,
the
yearly
calendar
revolves month by
month,
as
winter
welcomes spring,
summer beckons
fall-
we
tick off
a birthday,
closer to the 
grave.

Inspired by Christina Rossetti's The Months/A Pageant...

And Oh, how credulous'
     A mother must be
With all that devotion
             Pure love
And responsibility
       The everlasting
Queen of Queens'
A pageant with in my
       Heart,
And with the strength
         Of God,
You are my only heart

Sing me no mournful dirges--
No funeral hymns of morbid night.
But sing me anthems of the morning--
Of new beginnings, dawning bright.

Do not rain upon my pageant--
Bring out the rainbow tinted sky.
There’s time enough for dark and dismal,
Let's bask in sunshine, till we die....

Romantic tableau
Plucks the string of Cupid's bow
Season of the heart

Soaring in it's arc
Cupid's arrow finds it's mark
Season of the heart

Two now joined as one
Passions pageant has begun
Season of the heart

A-n ideal kind of beauty
M-aintains inner impact; 
Y-es, the love deep inside is always firm and intact.

I-deal kind of beauty
L-ets itself silently talk
A-bout the hidden charm, 
G-reater than a pageant walk.
A-n early Monday morning, the light shows the glory; 
N-ew dawn October second sees the ideal kind of beauty....

Gilded streams tapestry weave
Frothy dew doth pageant aggrieve
Brimming bough wrapped in embroidered sleeve
Withering grass to the denuded soil doth cleave
Translucent sickles glimmer on each availing eve
Bristling ice pelets bleary-eyed cisterns do heave
Mercurial splendor doth summer's monotony relieve
Chilled masses do body's warm circulation deceive...

In pageant of stars, a showstopper shines
palisaded halo, a bashful yellow reclines
a nocturnal goddess, daemon wind whines
companionless beauty, no orbit in twines.

No one has that voluble to alter my thought 
Towards the confines of the mortal world 
When the futile began to repent for being guilt
Despite they vitiate their counterpane to proud 

I've now siezed all the majestic course
To pageant and impart all the morals 
Homage is what I'll do to be gratifying pride
And defeat all that dense over their depressions...

A December sun summons Winter’s freeze,
but a November sun shares its golden rays.
And upon a canvas of leaves, paints the trees,
as longer nights encroach upon shorter days.
Nature dips Her brush in a November sun
and transforms the landscape before She is done.
Fall’s changing leaves are a magnificent sight,
a pageant of color before Winter's white....

Proudly those cocks prance
Circling the other in dance
Crassly they peck then strut
Sharp in beck and detract

Tilting their heads in study
Shrewdly they're each ready
Smooth and certain they deflect
No moment of regret to reflect

They hide greater feelings of pain
And show no anguish, only disdain
Colorful feathers bloody the street
But nothing would stop this pageant...

Is that not High School Justina:
The Elder Sister of Tina?
So, why us she is getting leaner,?
Praying and fasting like Lena?
Or modeling like Martina:
Body reshaping to turn winner?
Now the craving of A Pageant
Wanting to life make pleasant...

So, she's dumping scholarship
For on - stage applause and worship?
God, help Day - Dreaming Justina
And not count her Rebel sinner......

A writer , a poet can be a model as well..
If she has determination and love  too..
A poet or songwriter can't succeed in beauty pageant ..
Yeah I am thankful there is no such a rule..
A poet can decorate beauty pageant with physical style and beautiful words. .
And that combination remains forever...
If a poet gets company of inspiring persons like you than she she can do even in beauty glamour....
