Living for A day
Her maiden ramp-walk
Color palate, feline steps
She dazzles all eyes
Thunderous peals of applause rise
Flamboyant designer smiles
Couture weeks flame red
Consuming all beauty-moths
Of size zero fame
Hollow face, straw ribbed females
Sigh for symphony, light, life
Inspired by the prompt Lightning @ Poetry Jam
What Does the Fox
Say
Sniffing air snooty fox
Cocks his ears and spots a cock
So cocksure that gives a leap
Complete cock-up Rooster slips
‘Lousy meal would a rooster make’
Thus saying, the cocky fox
Starts for his hole to lay his head

The lifestyles of the models and cocky of this world. Right on target!
ReplyDeletehaha a complete cock up for sure...that second one is funny....the first is a bit scary to me...they def can get the attitude but what they do to their bodies...ugh
ReplyDeleteI had to smile at your many uses of the word 'cock' in this poem. Surely the fox's nemesis.
ReplyDeleteVery well done! Made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile too, the fox's chagrin at slipping and missing his meal.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the scene you painted in the first stanza and the play-on-words in the second one, Sumana!
ReplyDeleteSumana,
ReplyDeleteQuite a sad foxy tale..Look before you leap etc...Very clever..Both starving:)

size zero fame… cockiness - both we can do without! Well done.
ReplyDeleteHow sad that some people will not feel good about themselves unless they have a size zero frame!
ReplyDeleteLove both of them....how sad we are a society obsessed with size zero...Nothing like seeing a fox get outfoxed ...lol
ReplyDeleteLove your wordplay!
ReplyDeleteHa, I agree that a rooster would made a LOUSY meal. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteLove your snooty fox...kind of spoiled...smiles
ReplyDeleteHa, I see you had a lot of fun playing with the words in the rooster/fox poem. An excellent, fun write.

Ah! both are s lovely:)
ReplyDeleteI thought the first one was about the fox. Hea stangley it also works.
ReplyDeleteneither the model nor the rooster would be a tasty meal! Well done!
ReplyDeleteNow that song will play in my head the rest of the afternoon!
ReplyDelete"Straw ribbed females" - what a powerful visual! Your second poem is so clever, and now I'll sing that song for the rest of the day. :)
ReplyDeleteSmiling at your second one ~ As to the first, I don't appreciate models so thin they are malnourished rather than sexy to me ~
ReplyDeleteThanks for the share Sumana ~
I love the inclusion of the rooster in the second one! Great writng all together!
ReplyDeleteLoved your second poem - made me chuckle. It's sad about those stick figure models. I don't know why that's deemed attractive. They look sickly to me.
