First Lady of the Evening

Behold she takes the stage

Bedecked in mauves of bold outrage

With trailing scarves of lavender
A flush on her cheeks, her dark lashes sink

above lips painted petulant pink.

Her spirit is heated, her passion fast meted

She has only one moment to please.

Her seconds of glory, so quick you'll be sorry,
as she sinks in a curtsey and flees.
