Poem in Progress… calling all linguists! Let me know what you think so far, and what should happen next?
ANOTHER LIPSTICK CRISIS AVERTED
She sets the snare–
Mascara that makes her lashes
Captured raindrops,
Eyeshadow to conceal the need,
Eyeliner to draw him in.
She blinks as she applies
Volcanic red to her mouth,
The fiery color she knows
Must demand his attention.
She flashes a smile,
Almost brilliant, though she wishes
Her teeth were whiter, straighter.
She stands, checks her hair,
Her clothes, her body,
And she finds herself stunning.
He won’t escape her,
Not this time.
She is a goddess among
Girls in shimmering glitter;
Men are too initmidated
To hurl pick-up lines
That wouldn’t work anyway.
She saunters through the club,
Back straight, chest out, head high.
She is a contemporary epic;
A modern masterpiece.
She is not so virtuous as Penelope,
Nor as memorable as the Mona Lisa,
But she is an earthbound star.
Like plants, they turn to face her radiance.
They hold their breath;
She freezes them where they stand.
